Dave,



The last tanker you posted for Lick Hill was photographed by me. It should be the same tank as the other FL that you posted.

Pat,



It probably was your photograph... I am sifting through a big box of pics right now and scanning them. None of them are marked with anyone's name, so I am just scanning and posting through this box.

Scott,



Some additional info on this interesting rig:



1970 International Loadstar 1700/4-Guys, full cab, 350/2200. The chassis was donated by Speer Brothers Oil Company of West Chester, PA in 1980. The tank was purchased from 4-Guys manufacturing and mounted on the chassis by the company. The total cost of the project was $9,000. In 1990 it was replaced and sold to the West Goshen Sewer Department. It was loaned back to the company on 2/12/92 for a $1 a year while the 1990 Autocar/4-Guys was being repaired from its accident. The township sold it to Eckman Excavting of Atglen, PA were it is still today.

scott i am 60 and love seeing those oldies but goodies so keep up the good work just like have been. never get tired of those old gas guzzlin' and loud mean machines. my favorite style of apparatus was the engine ahead of cab and most older ffs like myself would tell you at least when you hit something headon you got a whole lot of motor in front of you to ease the crash if someone got in your way.
