[quote name='Loot61' post='194931' date='Mar 6 2008, 22:33 ']Rowley Engine 1, 197-? Ford Moody? taken at the Lynnfield Muster at some point. I just found this picture in my desk.
I'm sure that someone here will correct me!

No correction needed. 1979 Ford F800/Edward G. Moody & Sons, delivered January 1980. 1000/500. Shot after the high-side compartments and 'squad 51' lightbar were added. This was sometime around 1995, and I was most likely one of the crew that day. The deck gun from this rig now rides atop my Mack.
Somewhere I have an aerial shot from the bucket of Peabody's tower at the same muster. We fed their ladder pipe in exchange for a ride.
This truck was sold to a local farmer in 2000. He forgot to drain it the first winter, shattered the tank and plumbing, and then scrapped it. What a shame. Although not my favorite rig, I was there the day she was delivered and I was there the day she retired, so I have a bit of an attachment.
