mike962 ◊ 2023-11-09 21:27	think I found the body , it's a Howe and this has similar 4 horizontal levers at pump, described as Howe Defender https://firepics.net/MyBB/showthread.php?tid=151&page=8 EDIT same body found on a Hahn.., but blinkers wrong position for Hahn and this one https://www.radnorfire.com/content/retired/ -- Last edit: 2023-11-10 16:42:06
Pokeoddsponge ◊ 2023-11-19 00:44	I'm thinking an International chassis for this one, with the front engine layout - most of the other fire apparatus builders used a mid-engine chassis (from Duplex, FWD, etc.) instead. For the body/final assembly, it looks like it might have been re-bodied at some point. And being a movie prop it's also missing the hard suction hoses that would be mounted on the side.
