Info on this rig.
1983 Ford C8000/FMC Omega, canopy cab, 1000/750, 3 KW Onan generator. It was housed on 7/28/84 at a cost of $101,596, Cat 3208, automatic. Sold by Walker Emergency Vehicles of West Chester. It was out of service most of 1992 because the pump had to be rebuilt. The impellar had to be custom made since FMC was out of business and the part was not available. It was sent to East Penn Sales of Crossona in 1995 where the body and cab were removed and it was refurbed. Housed 10/4/97. It’s 3KW generator blew – was replaced by another one by East Penn in early 2007. Replaced in 2008 and sold to the USDA in Panama City, Panama on 11/28/08. It left on 12/2/08.
