Virginia apparatus - miscellaneous

[GA_Dave]

First up at Black Creek is Engine 12, a 1988 PemFab Royale/FMC 1000/750. We were told this was Hanover's first four door engine.



A couple of questions on this truck - In addition to the PemFab plate, it also had a small plate for TCM - Truck Cab Manufacturer. Was one company owned by the other? We were also uncertain on a serial number for this engine. The pump panel had 8002. Would any serial number expert recognize this as a FMC serial number?

1. No

2. Yes



TCM supplied the cab only. They have supplied cabs to virtually every apparatus chassis builder for many years. Some guy on here was supposed to be writing a Spotter's Guide for TCM cabs, but he's a slacker and hasn't finished it yet.



Based on production numbers on other FMC rigs I've seen, that is a correct style number for that rig.
