The full-depth compartments limited the tank to 500 gallons, but allowed much more equipment to be carried than in the typical Suburban body. Most Minuteman bodies were built on conventional Ford amd GM chassis but some were Ford C's and even a couple were built on custom chassis.[/quote]



Dave, thanks for the info.



Here is some more stuff from the West.

HazMat 253 from Tualatin Valley/OR was a 1985 Ford C-8000 with Marion bodywork.
