Ruckersville received this Mack from Chesterfield County, Virginia.
Tower 27
1979 Mack CF686FAP 75'
s/n 1315
ex- Chesterfield County L-127

Good to know this old warhorse is still in service!
The rig finished it's service in Chesterfield as Unit 127 (Truck 12) but was originally assigned to Station 3 as Unit 37, and was the first Aerialscope to go in service in Chesterfield County. The rig was also the only one in the county (That I recall ) to ever sport twin Mars Lights.
The 75 footer was replaced by a 95 footer sometime in the mid to late 80s, and became a reserve piece for a short period of time. Truck 12's open cab Pirsch was beginning to show it's age in a big way by then, so that rig was taken out of service, and old Three truck was assigned to Station 12 as Unit 127.
