I see the 'B' and 'C' threads, with GREAT pics on them! What about the 'D' rigs? The vehicles that bring the teams and equipment to the tourneys. Just a thought!
Over the years, we have all seen some pretty interesting ways of getting the teams there.

Nothing beats the days of just driving them there. Or driving them home and parking it on someones lawn and then hopping on and responding to a call when the whistle blows.
Wasn't the American Lafrance tractor FREEPORT DEK?

So iam told in the 70's the way our department used to get our c-truck from tournament to tournament was ..... the cowl was taken off the truck and put in a pick-up. Then a village dump truck was borrowed and the car was driven in the back of it. When they got where they had to find a bank to back up to so they could unload it. .........And then came the school bus .... we dont even need to explain that ! Iam glad that thing is out of service and a trailer was purchased!

Do you want to see a picture of our old beaten-up pickup truck that went on fire pulling into Hempstead for the State last year. "hey, your truck is on fire!" "No, it overheats all the time." "No, its really on fire. I can see the flames!"
