This truck was originally numbered as 51 Truck. That was the station number before the reorganization in 1982. It was originally station 11 in Allegheny City before Pittsburgh annexed Allegheny City. After annexation, it was renumbered as 51 and in 1982 it became 39. There is a basement in this station and with an engine and a truck along with an old building, the truck was moved to 32 Engine on Spring Garden Ave due to concerns with the strength of the floor. It kept the 39 number and in 1992 this truck was eliminated. Currently, in 32's house, Engine and Truck 32 reside. The city had a quite a few mid mount Pioneers. 37 Truck had a Pioneer tiller that was replaced in 1988 with a Pierce tiller. It was solid red, had twin 4 beam model 184's and a "Q" mounted on the roof between them.
