this from Stephen Wilcox:
Here’s an ancient rig. 1959 Ward LaFrance 1,000 gallon. I remember that the shift was a non-synchromesh. I only knew one engineer who could drive it without using the clutch. Wheaton had two of them in early sixties. Quite a vehicle.

Nice rig there. Not all that many WARD LaFRANCE’s of that vintage around even at musters at least in this region.
Cripes that must have been daunting to drive one of those.
Can’t say enough about what ALLISON contributed.
