Ford C Series Chassis Fire Apparatus

[ddoyle195]

I am so glad to see a Post on the Ford/C chassis's. I will definetly be active in this one. First I"ll start out with my favorite Ford/C pumper, this is our 1979 Ford C/Pierce 1000gpm 500gal. from the Doyle Hose Company No. 1. I'm happy to say someone has finally bought the old girl, a local construction company out of the city of buffalo will use this truck for hydro-seeding. It's leaving the hall this upcoming Wednesday and is allready stripped. This truck I learned to drive and pump on and I really appreciated what you could do with this truck that you couldn't do with the big trucks. But as time passed trucs got bigger and bigger, pump capacity and tank capacities got bigger and bigger, no more riding on the tailboard which deemed her obsolete. It's going to be a sad day at 2199 William street just like it was 7 years ago when the 1968 Young Crusader pulled out onto the pad and headed west on William Street for the last time. A Sad day indeed <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
