GA Dave is correct on the 1953 Mack it does/did have Allegheny bodywork. This began life as Squad Wagon 1 with the Silver Spring VFD in Montgomery County. In '68, it went east to Berwyn Heights in PG County after they wrecked Squad 14. It stayed there as a reserve after Squad 14's Bruco body was re-chassied. In about 1974 it went to Arundel. As I have it in 1980, it was sort of "traded" to Pikesville who sent Arundel their '69 Ford C-cab Swab aka "Super Squad 7". I have the '53 as in service at Pikesville until 1982 when it was replaced by the correct me if wrong here on the year '79??? Peterbilt, Swab. I have been told the ol' '53 Mack is still around privately owned.
Outstanding shots, do keep 'em coming!
That Mack still exists. A dealer in Mack parts who sells at the Lititz Mack show used to use it to haul his wares around. I think that he still has it although I heard that it no longer runs.
