1959 Reo 6x6 5-ton 250/1200. No longer in service at Sacramento.[/quote]
Sorry to see this one is no longer in the fire service. I always like the color!
BTW, this is a M50A3 deuce-and-a-half, not a five ton. Its counterpart is a M49 fuel tanker.
The M-series 5-ton has a much greater distance between the front wheel and the back of the front fender. Here's a site that has a lot of pix to help tell the difference: [url="http://www.reomie.com/other_m-serie.html"]http://www.reomie.com/other_m-serie.html[/url] (this takes you directly to the 2-1/2 ton portion).
