Like the 1963 FWD/Pitman Snorkel, this one also had Pierce bodywork.

The 1963 FWD/Pitman Snorkel had Towers bodywork. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



The Mack R pumpers all went to reserve when the new quints arrived in 1987. I photographed one when I visited in 1988, in reserve at one of the airport stations.



There were two of the Mack CF/EVF heavy rescues. One was recently posted in the Mack Fire Apparatus thread, post 592, at it's second home, Boring, MD.

The Mack CF/EVF rescue at Boring,MD., originally was at Bowley's Quarters,MD. in Baltimore Co., and it was a 1983.

An x-ST. Louis Seagrave/Marion rescue did go to Blades,DEL., and I believe is now with Greenbackville,VA.

Duane also got out to the fire station at St. Louis International Airport in 1976. Here is a photo of some of the crash equipment in front of the station.

Crasj 42 was listed as a 1973 IHC/PU carruing 500#'s of Purple K.

Crash 43 was this 1966 Oshkosh 1000/1800 with 200 PR? and 10-Gals CB. I'm trying to read what Duane has listed for each of these airport rigs and I'm having trouble deciphering Duane's abbreviations.

Maybe 200 PK (For Purple K extinguishing agent).



Just a thought.
