85snowdog Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 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.

bigmackattack Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 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. http://www.greenwood78.org/apparatus.cfm?page=3 1 Quote May the Peace that excels all thought be with you Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53216-greenwood-delaware-seagrave/#findComment-397572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
85snowdog Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 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.

1958 F.W.D. Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 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.

VALS327 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 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 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53216-greenwood-delaware-seagrave/#findComment-397600 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1958 F.W.D. Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I consulted with the fire truck manufacturer Magic 8-Ball and it spat out "GREAT EASTERN Body on a DUPLEX Chassis."

70mackMB Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Town of Barnstead, NH FD runs green trucks. They have a slogan on every one. "It's not easy being green". .....Hippy 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53216-greenwood-delaware-seagrave/#findComment-397620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
85snowdog Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 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. 1 Quote Keith Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53216-greenwood-delaware-seagrave/#findComment-397678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
