[quote name='LFD_John' post='275930' date='Jan 22 2009, 19:16 ']I think it's a GMC/Maday Truck Body (local body builder.) Body was originally on a '48-ish Ford F series, and remounted on the GMC in the early '80s. Unknown where that truck is today.[/quote]
And Mayday is now called Unicell Body Company with shops in Rochester,Buffalo,Albany, and Toronto Ontario Canada, which I used to do lots of driving for. Another tidbit from one of the older gents who used to work at Unicell, and also for Mayday, was that they were also affiliated with Young. Apparaently from wht this gent told me, Mayday became a spin off of Young from some of the folks who worked at Young, and they decided to go out on their own, and the rest is history, as Mayday became Unicell, and is still in business, building mostly high cube vans,stake body trucks, and dump trucks, and also installing snow plows. Unicell does work and the occasional smaller fire truck like utility vehicles, and or brush-mini pumpers, light rescues and mainly puts on the winches and such. When I was driving for them several times when I was at the albany shop they were working on various small fire vehicles, and a couple of times here at the Rochester shop they were working on light rescue trucks. Someplace around here I have some pics of a couple of them, and will post them in another thread once I find them. Thanks John for the info, and now that you mentioned it, I also think Mayday may have built one for Webster FD as well, and quite possibly a few others here in Monroe County, and possibly Wayne County as well.
