Besides the trucks from Newfoundland I just posted in the Relics thread, I got one or two others while I was driving all over the eastern half of the province being a radio operator for the volunteer teams running the Targa Newfoundland rally. As I was "working", there was not much time to take any decent pics or track down details on the truck. Sorry.



This was in Leading Tickles, Newfoundland - a village right on the coast of the North Atlantic. I shot an old Dodge 500/la France parked in a field in that same town, see the "Relics" thread. Anyway, while the rally was going on, the fire department actually had an incident. (Would've been nice to know more of it earlier than just hearing sirens coming up the closed rally stage road, but whatever..) Anyway, upon their return, I had presence of mind to grab my Blackberry and snap a pic of one of their trucks. This is the only full-size truck they went out with - they had four members respond, one in each of 3 trucks, and one in his POV. Their other two trucks are an old cube van looking like it's outfitted for rescue (the back door was open and there were SCBA mounted on the wall above a bench), and an older Ford F100 with a water tank, hose, and a Q (!). This here is obviously a GMC TopKick, maybe a tanker-pumper, hard to tell.



The thing on the hood/cowl is a remote controlled spotlight.







EDIT: Above the GMC logo on the hood/cowl.. that might be a Fort Garry logo. Rob? Thoughts?
