And now we come to probably the coolest all-around fleet that I found that day. This was my favorite truck! They said this truck replaced a 1960's IHC CO-8190/Central-St Louis engine that came used from Vonore, TN. They said that they knew a salesman from Deep South Fire Apparatus and they'd contacted him to see what he had available for sale. He told them he actually had the engine pictured below being sold from the Lake City, TN area and he'd bring it down so they could look at it. After trying it out, they traded the IHC engine for this GMC engine. They still speak highly of this truck and how it handles the roads in their district.
Citico, TN "Engine 631"
1975 GMC L6500/Bruco
1000/750
S/N # 754
X: Lake City, TN area (not sure which FD)
