Some features to note: These were Diesel, Auto-Matic, Power Steering, 1500gpm pumps, Stang Intelligent Deck Pipes, Twin Federal Power Lights, Twin chrome PA speakers on the bumper, Q sirens, MARS Lights. The nine 1976 Mack MB pumpers had similar features.



These were the first Factory Delivered Lime-Green rigs and First with MARS lights. They were not popular due to the color but were actually really great rigs. They survived until 1997ish in the reserve fleet. KCFD sadly had Lime-Green 1974-1990. One of America's most aggressive fire departments suffered on a number issues through the 1970's and 1980's the lime-green paint just added to the strain. On the bright side they have always kept their Cairns Traditional Helmets.
