Frank,
Info on the Longwood rigs. I think I have a color shot of the Mack C.
1953 GMC/Bruco, full cab, 750/300, 4-door nine-man sedan cab, pump mounted between front and rear cab doors, rear fender compartments, six cylinder motor, 5-speed manual transmission, this type of cab was not a standard offering of the manufacture at the time-it had to have been built aftermarket by a specialty body builder,. It cost $20,000. It was sold in 5/78.
1963 Mack C-95-F1292, canopy cab, 750/1000. This was the first canopy cab purchased by the company. The pump might have been upgraded to 1000 GPM by Longwood. It was sold to a dealer in the south in 1978. Housed 9/29/63.

1985 Hendrickson 1871W/Grumman, canopy cab, 1250/1000. This is a very plain jane looking pumper, 6 KW generator. It cost $163,000.
