Imperial Fire Apparatus Rancocas, NJ

[GA_Dave]

Both the Bensenville rigs were Pierce's with Cincinatti cabs. The truck had an early LTI ladder both had Pierce bodys. I remember when I worked ther and was a cadet the cabs had no mention of Imperial. They did have a yellow sticker that said the cab was made by TCM. Matter of a fact the Engine was the first I ever rode on to a working fire as a cadet in 1982.

Okay, so who did build the chassis on these two rigs? Pierce did not begin building custom chassis until the early 1980's.
