Now this is similar to our first truck in Bristol, ME. Ours was a little cooler as the PTO on the front was made of solid brass. That allowed us to have the newbies make it sparkle on work details.

Of course, the real shortcoming was (and this was in the late 1980's) that the canvas hoses were all marked: "BOSTON FD - 1913"

I pointed this out to the Chief who said, "They've worked well up until now!"
