1983 GMC Bridgader/4-Guys tanker 500 gpm pump and a 3,000 gallon tank. The thing was a monster, 6V92 Detroit coupled to a 10 speed Roadranger transmission... pure coal came out of the exhaust stack when you went through the first 5 gears!! This piece was refurbished after it was laid on it's side and the hose rack was removed, body updated slightly. It was sold to Orebank Fire Department in Tennessee, replaced by a Mack Granite/S&S tanker (the S&S part was pure garbage.. was sent back to the factory with the whole body twisted down to the right due to improper body mounting units) in 2003 or 2004.[/quote]
Dave,
This is what I have on this piece. When did they put it on it's side (1989) ?
Thanks,
Bruce
