    Any chance that the B95 convertible above is a B405 or B475 with Chrysler power? 

    The wheels sure look like the style from those two models.

    Thanks!  Your question forced me to dig further to confirm the facts.  Corrections have been made.  That photo was taken over 25 years ago and my information gathering skills in those days were rather weak.  The wheels may have been a clue, but not definitive.  I have seen B-85's and B-95's with the disc wheels, but in this case you are correct.  I found a couple photos of B-475's that went to the Navy that are literally identical to the Gwinnett rig, with the exception of the chrome pump panel, which could have easily been added at a later time.  There were 42 B-475's built.

    Interesting to see two stacks instead of using a weedburner.

    In some parts of the Country, exhaust stacks on fire apparatus are very common.  If you notice, their pumper also has one, on the right side, visible between the roof and the deck gun.
