The "Big Daddy" of the Louisville line was the LTL-9000. These are fairly uncommon in the Fire Service and even more rare with a canopy cab.

I took this several years ago and am not sure if it's still in service there. Also, for whatever reason I don't have the tank size in my notes.

International (IHC, Navistar, "Cornbinder") has always been a popular brand of commercial chassis for fire apparatus. Over the years, International has produced a wide variety of chassis models that have been used. Teaming up with Truck Cab Manufacturers, they also had two chassis specifically designed for the Fire Service, the CO-8190 and the FTCO-2010/FCTO-2070 (which became the Hendrickson 1871S), but I classify those chassis as "semi-custom", along with Spartan, Hendrickson, PemFab, Duplex, etc., not commercial.
Model designations for Internationals are as plentiful as grains of sand on a beach, and almost as difficult to distinguish! I'm certainly no expert on them, but I've done the best I can. I only began recording the model numbers in recent years and I have nothing on most of my older stuff. Most Internatioals today have a four digit model designation (4400, 4900, etc), but before the 4900 came out in 1988, there was a letter, or letters, preceeding the digits (KB-6, B-196, R-1856, S-1900, etc.). The letter related to the cab/chassis type while the digits referenced the GVWR along with features specific for the planned use of that chassis. For example, rigs with the last digit of 6 were designed for Fire Service use (1950's -1960's). Engine 241, Vanport, PA International S-2500/KME 1500/500
Similar to the S-2500 series was the S-2600 series, which differed by its setback front axle. Many of these were S-2674's.

General Safety also liked the big Internationals.

I have a few canopy cabs from the Great Plains part of this country. First up is this rig from Grant County, KS which is in the far southwest corner of the state.
