Old Snorkel 2 is on a Walters chassis, and has no water tank. For some reason I thought it was a Young "Crusader", but I could be way off. Originally it had a Waukeshau (sp?) gas motor, and I THINK it was a manual trans, but it was repowered with a 6 cyl diesel and auto trans. They should've put in a bigger motor, but it did the job.

Yeah, I remember when you would here Peekskill request it cover on M/A jobs. It would take them forever to get to the Cortlandt H&L House on Main St. Just couldn't get up and going...Guess that is what a 6 cyl does on a huge fire truck...
