re: Oldest Tank Wagoon in Bucks County
In 1934 Trevose FC (Bucks Co,),PA purchased a 1933 Chev chassis. They had Quaker City Iron Works-Phila build them a 500 tank body. This tanker was built for fire service-it was not a fuel carrier conversion. Fire company members mounted the tank on the chassis themselves. It was placed in service in 4-35. In March, 1948 the Readers Digest did a survey and proclaimed this to be the first tank truck designed for fire service. In the 1980s it was refurbed and exists today as an antique and parade piece at Trevose.
