My old department has an old Mack, I'll see if I can get a pic, and our 1863 is an old Dodge with a split shift.

Is that Greenville tanker around a 78-82? Not to often do you see a tanker with a airlift pusher in front of the drive axle. Does that have a 2 speed rear? Does it have a maxiadin mack motor?

Matt I question your wording of "real truck", do you mean slow, poorly designed, and inefficient?
Because I feel I have a real truck, just not any of your manufacturers though.

Yall just use that as a tanker? It would be a Engine in my dept. Our tankers are just shuttles for water no pump for fighting fires.
