In 1947 Community FC-Harleysville (Montgomery Co.),PA purchased a Dodge chassis locally. It had a "closed cab" which was desired in winter weather. The chassis was sent to Harwick Mfg.in West Point,PA to have a custom body added. The full width, side compartmented, squad body was not equipped with a volume pump or booster tank. By 1954 it was determined that a water tank was essential therefore the company investigated the installation of one on this truck. It was concluded that it was too expensive to add the tank. It was therefore offered for sale and a new truck was ordered from Harwick with a built-in water tank. In 1954 the Dodge was sold to Westville,NJ.
