The body on this pumper is just fantastic! Does anyone know what city this was filmed in? I found the full video on Youtube, but there isn't anything there that talks about the rig. If anyone is interested, there is another shot of the rig at 1:50 in the video on Youtube. |

Sorry to double post, but after some research, I am positive it is a Diamond-T. What gives it away is the hub-caps. Diamond-T was the only company to use these chrome hub-caps during the mid 1930's to the mid 1940's. |

I guess I should be very sorry for triple posting, but I just found this page. I think it is the same truck. A 1938 Kenworth Cab-Over-Engine(COE) 1250gpm. pumper truck. MGM got the first in 1938, this is the truck shown. Beverly Hills had one engine(1941) and Los Angeles had three engine(2-1940,1-1941) and one quad(1940). These trucks were built completely by Kenworth in Seattle, WA, United was just the distributor in LA. That is why they are sometimes called Kenworth/United's. Link to "www.youngstownfire.com" |
