Let me know what you thing of this rig, and any information on it.
NY Shelter Island
1932 Mack 50 BG #1051

Shelter Island, Long Island New York.
Its the island located between the twin forks on the eastern end of Long Island. This truck is still owned and retained by the department as a parade truck. I believe it was the first "New" piece of apparatus purchased by the Shelter Island "center" FD. There were two departments on the island prior to a merger in the 1990's the SI "Hieghts" and "center" fd's.
I believe that this truck is currently being restored.
