Greenwood Delaware Seagrave

[85snowdog]

I'm not sure if I got this wrong. 

A friend sent me this pic of a truck not to far from me ( little over an hour north of Toronto, Ontario).  I think ? it says Greenwood , Delaware on the door. 

I thought we had members from that part of the world. I wanted to share the pic ,in case someone knows the truck and would like to know where it ever went.  It has a detroit motor and a standard transmission. I didn't think a standard would be very common . 

I was told it hasn't moved in years and doesn't run .  A fire truck lover is going to try to resurrect it . 

You can also correct me if I'm wrong about the make . I thought it was a Seagrave, but I could have easily got that wrong too.

I looked through all their photos of apparatus and could not find this among them.......I included a link to their webpage.   It may have been removed from service before they though of doing a photo shoot of it, not sure though.   Still a nice rig though.

Thanks very much for the link bigmackattack ,   I had to wipe the drool off the keyboard after looking at the FWD and the Freightliner tankers.

That does not appear to be a Seagrave. The cab is the biggest clue- it appears to be a TCI (Cincinatti) Cab. Seagrave builds their own. The body also does not appear to be of Seagrave origin. I am usually pretty pretty good at guessing truck manufacturers but the fact that this one has been refurbished at least once (the strobe boxes on the front, the "bus" mirrors and a lot of other stuff is not original) really has me scratching my head. But I am confident that this is not a Seagrave.

Thanks for the link a lot of cool photos. Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like the 1974 engine with the addition of the enclosed cab and the simulators on the wheels

I consulted with the fire truck manufacturer Magic 8-Ball and it spat out "GREAT EASTERN Body on a DUPLEX Chassis."

Town of Barnstead, NH FD runs green trucks. They have a slogan on every one. "It's not easy being green".   .....Hippy

Thanks for the input everyone.

  I am going to see the truck in the next week or so. I will report back with what I see in person.
