We are both kinda right. Spoke with Wayne Thayer said they were given originally RT 64 old Truck 5 when the aero-chief went out for rehab. That truck (rt 64) was sent out for repaint 13 ran the "pride of trenton" till it was back. RT 64 was lettered 13 Truck 85 never was.

Wow, there's a name I haven't heard in a long while...lol....Wayne was my instructor for U of M Basic Firefighting back in the stone ages...lol...When I was a trainee member at Woodlawn, Wayne kinda took all the rookies under his wing.
I also remember Westview's first truck, the 1949 Seagrave midship. That went on to be the first Truck 17 before ending up as RT-75. Ahhh...the good old days...lol
