Went to the NC Piedmont chapter of the ATHS show in Colfax and shot this rig today. I'm hoping someone can shed some more light on this truck. According to a sign on the trailer, this was the first and only Corbitt built to military specs that served a mental hospital in Washington,DC and was purchased from a farm in MD sometime around 2009 by the new owner. Can anyone provide me with a year or more history on this truck?



1930s-1940s Corbitt Fire truck

No other info known

[/quote]St.Elizabeth's was the name of the mental hospital in S.E. Washington D.C. which DCFD annexed into their dept. in the 80's. I am not familiar with that rig though.

[/quote]More info on the Corbitt.

According to my friend John Floyd and Corbitt Preservation Association member Nollie Neill Jr. this is a 1926 Corbitt that was built to government specs for St. Elizabeth's Hospital, as this was a federal government facility. This truck sat in front of Frontier Town in Ocean City, Maryland for many years. Here is a 1970 vacation photo from John Floyd of the rig.

Anything that goes into Brookfield never comes back out. Thats just the way they operate.

If he is like the guy on Long Island, there is so much more money in sending the engines, transmissions and bogies overseas that they really don't care what some buff thinks about the rig. I watched a tiller with what looked like a brand new aerial get cut up and sent the aerial to the shredder.



What's the weight of a 75' boom? A few hundred dollars worth @ the scrapyard.



Stay safe, Brothers.

What happened to this truck? It doesn't appear to be very old.
