tjc transport Posted Wednesday at 11:53 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:53 PM my introduction into the cracker box was the fire departments aerial ladder. V12 engine with 10 speed trans. there were only 4 of us that could drive it. 1985 it was sold to a fire department out in the midwest at 20 years old because we could no longer rate it as a first line truck without doing a complete refurbish... and that cost almost as much as the new diesel truck that replaced it. it had a little over 17,000 miles on it when it went west. 1 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Paul I can only remember seeing one of those dodge cabovers in person …. They were probably a little more popular when I was a lot younger I actually drove a conventional dodge one day filling in on a trash pickup route I actually liked it hadda gas engine Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58945-gmc-cracker-box/page/3/#findComment-573832 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted Thursday at 11:47 AM Share Posted Thursday at 11:47 AM sorry, no pictures of it. and i dont know if it is still alive or not. i have not seen it in 40 years. it had a deck control 75 foot ladder with a nozzle up top and 4 inch hose from deck to nozzle up the middle of the ladder, a 50 foot, 30 foot, 4 20 foot extension ladders in the bunks under the big ladder. and 2 14 foot "roof ladders", one on each side of the ladder bunk. 500 gallon water tank, 750 GPM pump with ladder console pump controls. only hose on board though was the 4 inch line for the ladder and a shorty to connect to the trucks pump. it rolled with a pumper for water supply from hydrants. i remember that truck like it was just yesterday. too bad i cant remember what i had for breakfast this morning!! 1 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
