1966 Chevrolet Model 56, built by Earl Sherman & Co of Oakland, CA
250 gpm PTO pump, 300 gallon tank. There is a forward facing bench seat directly behind the cab.
This engine is being restored by an employee on the Los Padres National Forest. It was obviously used by another department at some point based on the red paint.
The Model 56 was introduced in 1957 in an effort to standardize a fire engine design across the agency. Although the engines have grown larger over the past 50 years, you can clearly trace the features of the Model 56 through the Models 60, 61, 62 and right into the the most recent Model 326.
