Steve, I sent you an email the other day about a Boardman, maybe you didn't get it.  Do you have any info about a 1990's Freightliner/Boardman engine that was delivered to Cullowhee, NC?  It was painted White/Red and should have been lettered as either "452" or "453."  This vehicle was totalled in an MVA rollover in 2001 when the driver lost control of it on Black Ice.  If you could tell me the specs & the F-# off of it, I'd be eternally grateful! 



Thanks Steve!

Steve, do you show any record of a Ford F-800/Boardman side-mount pumper/tanker, maybe 1000/1000, late 80's or early 90's, that was delivered to Snowbird, NC; Robbinsville, NC; or maybe even Cherokee, NC?  I found a picture of it the other day on a MySpace page, but I'm not sure if Snowbird recieved it new or not.  Also, I'd love to see delivery shots of Cullowhee's FL/Boardman that got wrecked, as well as Maggie Valley's Duplex/Boardman engine if you get a chance.  Thanks!!

The chassis VIN indicates a 1988 model:

I know the gentleman that had this  truck.  It resides In Washington state now.  I have the waterous manual from this truck. Wish I would have gotten my hands on it  
He sold it to some guy who was going to use it on his property.

Looks like it was in nice shape compared to my 76 I have .

Andrew, by any chance are you related to former Waynesville PD Asst. Chief Messer?  He and I were friends back in the 50s and early 60s.

So here is a shot of a 1980 Boardman my crew has, formerly from Canton, OK.  750/1000, 429 4V, Clark 5-speed.  (I can post a full profile of it if you'd like.)

Tailboard Corner Casting Needed.

Anyone have a source for a corner casting for a Boardman tailboard - or maybe an extra or salvaged one someone would like to sell?
