[tydirten]

[NC403Firefighter]

That Kenworth rig came from Conover, NC. It's a 1976 model if I'm not mistaken.

[boneinleg]

[Fanik8]

Wow!! That's a '75 truck? Looks a lot older than that, like a '68.

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@Fanik8

The Ford C-series design spanned the years 1957 to 1990.

@classicpower07 The ford is nice and would make a great reserve rig or first out for a small Dept. I cant get over thge Kenworth with the squirt.

[chechnya]

Raccoon Township? I expect to hear dueling banjos any second.

[classicpower07]

@chechnya Yes Racoon Township is just outside Pittsburg,Pa.

[Busdude97]

Thats funny when the chain hits the camera.

[Rummeltobi]

LOL 0:36!

[glennl38]

Now that's an oldtime truck - back box is an original Bean ,late 50's and the newer cab was added by FMC in the 70's - A department that I ran with had a 1959 Bean on a Ford 700

[retroolschool]

GreaT VIDEO! The shot underneath was clever and reminded me of the beiginning of the movie D.C. Cab (Mr. T). What type of V8 are we talkin about here?

[SeagraveRules]

534 cubic inch.

[spreader32]

It's a John B E A N not a Beam. Sorry. Anyway my department had 7 of them at one point. And yes, the 534ci was a very tough motor. Especially if it was attached to a 5 speed.

[616ist]

@spreader32 The 534-277 HP and 490FTP of torque.I thought it would be more than that since my parents have a 454 Chevy that has 500 FTP of tourque

[WillieWonka928D]

@spreader32 I've heard the manuals in them things are a very hard shift, is this true?

[johnnytrouble2208]

what are the chains for?

[fireman1]

they're snow chains. they're either air or electric operated from inside the cab. they drop down and a disk runs along the inside of the tires and makes the chains spin under the tires for traction.

[johnnytrouble2208]

very cool

[fireman1]

yup..there very common on emergency, utility vehicles, and even school buses.

[Capt803]

Snow/Ice conditions they are operated with air pressure.

[RDG484]

I hope whoever buys it has a Federal Twin-sonic light bar and Q-siren ready-to-mount on that thing!!

[classicpower07]

Your in luck,I have one to go with it!

[RDG484]

A light bar or Q?

[ColonelSamatoshi]

There was another type like this that didn't have the back seats or open cab.

[billet68]

nice ...

[xdmproductions]

Now THAT'S a real firetruck.

[RDG484]

I want to go there and drive that sucker!!!! Sounds like a 534 V-8.

[CarolinaFireman]

534 was one beast of a motor!!! We had one just like that at my dept except it was a 69 model F900.

[RDG484]

A fire company not too far from where I used to volunteer with used to have a Ford C/Bruco Heavy Rescue with a 534 in it. We had a nearly identical rig with a 360. Guess which rig was the quicker of the two? That's okay ours had a Q on it, theirs only had a PA-20 electronic.

[tommycobra33]

Nice video brad.. Is the engine gas or diesel?

It sounds like Gas??

[classicpower65]

gas

[ClassicTVFan82]

Otherwise, this would be a C-8000. C-900s only had gas power (diesel engines would be in these only by conversion).
