Sedan cab apparatus, 1975 or older

[GA_Dave]

The thread "Commercial Canopy Cab Apparatus"  sparked the idea for this thread.  We are all too familiar with the "square box" custom cabs we have these days and we have been looking at 4 door, crew cab International 4900's and Freightliner FL-80's for years.  This thread is about fully enclosed cabs from back in the days before everyone was doing it.  This includes 1975 or older custom and commercial chassis rigs with 4 doors or 3 doors, as some FD's opted for having a rear door on the curb side only.  One more thing, we all know that FDNY began purchasing 4 door Mack CF's in 1971 and that many of these rigs went on to other FD's, so I don't feel it is necessary to post them all again in this thread, however, if you have a shot of one that never served FDNY, go right ahead and add it.

 

I'll begin with this 1950 Ahrens-Fox HC 1000/350 that originally served the Friendship Fire Company of Royersford, PA.  It was later sold to Soddy Daisy, TN and is currently undergoing a complete restoration after many years of service there.  "Beulah", as she is known, will continue to serve as a PR apparatus for many years to come.
