s/n 101639 Autocar Fire Tanker This truck is modeled as something a fire department would use in a rural area where fire hydrants were few and far between. It's big, Autocar model DC10364-OH with 12.00-24 tires. The dual exhaust suggest someone might have modified and adjusted the fuel pump settings so maybe there's more than 335 horsepower in that Cummins diesel.

These trucks were all built using the same body, kit number 95085 priced at $12.00. The top one is on an Autocar U-90, typical of what a fellow might build after the war to start business The second one is built for my layout, it runs around the coast and pumps the herring bait out of the boat and delivers it to a bait dealer or a canning plant.
