My dad built an Autocar wrecker back in the 60's. After that truck was done, he built 2 International Emeryvilles. One single rear axle, one tandem axle. God I loved riding in them trucks with him(the Internationals) I wasnt born when he had the autocar.

There is an old Autocar identical (except silver) to that next door to the house I own in Tenn. The owner said he would let me have it for $3500. I would do it if I had the money!

My 5 favorites are all Crash/Rescue Firefighting trucks except for a KW cabover that I took a road trip with my Dad in the summer before I went into the AF. Didn't much know him before that trip but after going form Tennessee to Los Angeles and back we really got to know each other and have been close ever since. I wish I had a photo of the actual truck but it looked like this one. You don't see them much anymore but when I do boy does it bring back memories.



Next is the first diesel I ever drove. An Oshkosh P-4 Crash truck



Then the Oshkosh P-19. This is the current one we have here at the Langley FD.



and our current Big boy, the P-23.



But my all time favorite is the Oshkosh P-15. This is a pic of me and MY truck when I was stationed in Korea back in the 80's. It was know as "Crash 7" and I got to operate it everyday for almost a year. Man I loved that truck. Twin V-8 diesels, over 6000 gallons of water and foam and man could it put the water out of those cannons on top. Fire didn't stand a chance against this bad boy!

We have a T800 and sometimes it is nice being able to in front of the hood and being able to turn within a 40 acre field compared to the W9's
