A quick flip thru my Philly books and a couple of other "bibles" of the hobby revealed:
Several 1920's MACK AC Bulldogs as pipeline, wrecker, and fuel wagon.
6 1955 Mack B 750 GPM
2 1962 Mack B aerial ladder tractors
Many Mack CF 1000 GPM engines bought in 1975-76.
1 1977 Mack CF 1000 GPM with 54' squrt
3 Mack CF 75' aerialscopes: 1978,82, and an 86.
So,Philly's had a few, I was privileged to photo the CF squrt engine and a couple of the scopes while they were in service, and these units were run pretty hard.
