GA Dave,
Info on this rig.
Bruce
1979 Ford CT-8000/Bruco, full cab, 1000/2200, tandem axle pumper-tanker. It was the first piece ordered with the new white over red paint scheme, Cat 3208 diesel, automatic, 4 KW generator. Chassis purchased from Wolfe Motors of Lancaster. It was housed on 6/14/80. It was rehabed and repainted after 1985. In 1992 the cab was rehabed and converted to a 4-door by Bruco which produced a rather unique looking Ford C cab. Tank leaking bad in late 2004. The tank was welded by a local welding shop in 1/05, placed back into service on 2/4/05. Sold on 11/4/05 with the 1985 Ford C/Bruco rescue-pumper for $45,000 in total for both to the Stewart County Fire Department, TN. Went south on 11/19/05. It was put up on E-Bay for sale in 07/07 by Stewart County.
