Sold to ATAC, Warren, Michigan Government Sales ordered 4/19/77 . The sheets show the S/N of 1426 thru 1429 four must have been built at the same time period.

Upon completion of chassis shipped to Tuff-Kote, Maxatawny , PA.for rustproofing then to Phoenix Manufacturing for installation of local options including a pusher axle whatever that is all about. 18,000# front and two speed 44,000# rears.
