This rig looks a lot like the 1960 Ford C-600/Maxim 750 GPM pumper-rescue that Barren Hill FC had. There are a few updates, but I think it's the same body. Anyone know for sure?[/quote]
Dave,
You would be correct. See below.

1960 Ford C-600/Maxim, full cab, 750/200, enclosed walk-in rescue-pumper. Purchased used in 1983 from the Barren Hill Fire Company (Montgomery County, PA) by Leacock (Lancaster County, PA). Barren Hill repowered it with a Caterpiller diesel and automatic transmission in 1973. It had a 6KW Onan diesel generator. Leacock refurbed and repainted it in 1983. It was sold in 1991 to a local construction company. Seen in 1999 at the end of 13th Ave. in Prospect Park at Sullivans Salvage, rotting away.
