Richmond, VA
I ran across these last night looking for something else!!

Richmond would wear out the original tractor and replace it with a later model. All the original tractors, prior to this ride, had a gasoline engine and the newer ones would be diesel and automatic transmissions. However this truck had a diesel but a standard 5 speed Spicer. The last before the automatics were used.
Truck Co. 1 Tractor - 1967 Oren-Duplex
Truck Co. 1 1967 Oren-Duplex - 1957 Peter Pirsch 100 Ft Aerial
Tanker 24
This ride was a 1960 International – Shop built unit that had a 150 GPM PTO pump and a 1000 gallon tank. Engines could nurse from it off of the rear and right side using 2-1/2” semi rigid hard sleeve.
