[quote name='Mack505' post='194979' date='Mar 7 2008, 08:43 ']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.[/quote]
I am 99% positive that I was the operator of TL2 that day.
