Quote:Actually a 1990 chassis with a 1992 body by Interstate Truck Equipment (ITE) of Hagerstown, MD. Placed in service 8/8/92 2 days after delivery from ITE.This whole saga is well-documented by Harvey Eckart in the book "Last of the Breed".Correct. We got the last two pumpers. The second to last was ours also, as Engine-313.
I was assigned to Engine-306, rode and got to drive this rig. Unlike the Ward79 work, Interstate put on the fuller height back doors, and that split glass window was a pain in the ass.
After 9-11 the rig was used as a Caisson for our Brothers in NY.
Saw it at the shops a few weeks ago.....
I think,it coulda did without that ugly white stripe.
