Info on this rig. I drove this thing - had some good power !
1977 Hendrickson 1871C/Pierce, Cincinnati canopy cab, 1250/500. The unit was ordered 11/75 for $78,582, Detroit 8V71 diesel, automatic. It was housed on 5/13/78. It was refurbed by Pierce in 1984. It was sold to the Gold Key Lake Fire Company of Milford (Pike County) in 1993 for $45,000. Gold Key Lake FC changed names through the 1990’s – ending up as Dingman Twp. FC. It was taken out of service in 07/03 and sold to Joe Black’s Towing of Hamlin (Wayne County, PA) to be used as a service vehicle. The pump & tank were removed, and they took a small school bus and cut off the top and mounted it over the hose bed. Interesting looking rig to say the least.
