I remember this rig from growing up in Northeast PA. Apparently when purchased, their fire station had low clearance, so well before the addition of the Whelen strobe light bar, it was equipped with a four beam Federal beacon which was mounted on a bracket just below the roof line. If you look at the front of the cab, under the center clearance/marker light, you can still see where the bracket was attached to the cab roof. Always liked this rig. Thanks.

And Lester X-Eng 252 was a 1964 Mack C 750/500. Didn't both of these also come from Palmyra, NJ?
