[quote name='firetrucknut' post='237260' date='Aug 10 2008, 09:20 ']An old ALF aerial perhaps? International made a similar cab, did these manufacturers share their ideas, or was it a take off? The Ford C cab was copied by just about everyone, Yankee Coach and Thibault qickly come to mind.[/quote]
While I recall seeing the rig sitting by the side of the road as a teenager, badly faded(I thought it had been painted blue, not green), I never photographed it. I think the aerial looks like a Seagrave, however. Also, The "Ford C Cab" was designed and manufactured by the Budd Company, and was used by several truck makers, including Mack, which termed it the N model, which was produced from the late 1950's into the early 1960's. I went to my first fire as a Junior fireman on a 1959 Mack N Harwick pumper-tanker back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />
