"wasn't this Hershey's?"

Yes, that's what the late Rich Rudisill had told me, IIRC, it's also in his Hershey book.

Dave, the old Fisherville Tanker is a late 1960's model and was a converted oil delivery truck.  I have been looking for a picture of this tanker for at least 10 years now.  Simply amazing for finally see a picture of it.

 

I pulled our history up last night, it is a 1972 Ford and was an old oil delivery truck, so the builder of the body is unknown.  It had a 300GPM pump and a 1,250 gallon tank.

That's what I thought.  I have a copy of the book, but it is at home and I am not.

My WLF list shows two deliveries for Scottdale, #80-701 and #80-810.  Did Scottdale have two of these or is there another FD that might have had a Scottdale mailing address that had one?  The list isn't always specific.  I have always assumed that this one was the first one, #80-701, a 1972 delivery, but you have this as a 1973, which could be #80-810.  Does anyone have any ideas?
