72U685ST Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 From 2004- 2008 my dad owned this mint B95 he traded it for his white B61 diesel that ive posted a picture of before. I was young at the time but i absoloutely loved this truck it was gorgeous. It was from the Durham New Hampshire Fire Dept. and had a 707 gas engine and a 5 speed. i know that the next owner cut the body off and took the pump out. I was wondering if anyone knows where the truck is now or if its still in existence. Thanks, Eric Quote Unmistakeable Design, Unmatched Performance.

bulldogboy Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I remember when this truck was in service with the Durham-UNH Fire Department. Durham-UNH also had a tractor-trailer tank truck with a "B" model tractor. That's a shame that such a beautiful truck was cut up. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msm618 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Thanks for sharing.I also remember seeing that B while cutting under the railroad tracks to get to the Field House.The Durham-UNH Fire Station was next to the incinerator plant that provided steam for the campus. Hmmm......how was that for planning.Many days I would walk by as Appleyards was dumping a trailer load of bunker oil for use in the plant. Also, every garbage truck in the seacoast area was dumping their loads to be burned up and a CAT loader was running almost non stop packing it in.Appleyards ran some semi-rough looking R models and some gypsies would also pull their trailers.Memories from a couple of days ago for sure.JimJim, I grew up in Saugus, MA, and remember seeing Appleyard's rigs on Rt.1 all the time. Great memories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogboy Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I'm giving my age away by referring to the Durham-UNH Fire Department. Several years ago they dropped the UNH name but I'm not sure how the funding situation is being handled by the town and the university. I remember that old fire station; the Mack tractor-trailer was parked outside; no room in the station I guess. Today, Durham still runs a 1985 Mack "R"/3D 350/1500 tanker, Engine 3. I think that Appleyard's was based in Methuen, MA but not 100% sure about that. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
