Same model as here but in tractor trailer form: /vehicle_408735.html

Notice the "spoiler" over the back of the cab and the sharp angle to the windows.

Strangely, I have no idea what model truck this is. I've never seen one before. Is there no shots where we can see the front of the cab?

From what little I can see, it looks like a Mack MB.

The cab is too narrow on the Mack MB, see how it has the fender over the wheels: http://www.freewebs.com/portersfireco53/E53-2%20Mack.jpg

Actually I think I may have found the answer just now. Some type of Duplex or Simon-Duplex cab: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3904487042_abb0aee170_o.jpg

That one is pretty close, also check out the angle of two pumpers in the other link I had put up here /vehicle_408735.html

I don't know what this model was called, alot of this information is hard to find online.

My guess for the manufacture of the ladder trailer is LTI.

So for now Simon-Duplex unknown/LTI

This shot shows the front of a fire truck, but whether it's the same exact one as the one in the main pic and thumbs, I don't know.

Nice shot of the Mack MB anyway, Pokeoddsponge.

The truck that is referenced here is accutaly a Spartan Gladiator with a SPI 100 foot tractor drawn aerial. It was acquired by San Francisco Fire Dept. in 1986 and was numbered as Truck 1, It was a reserve truck at the time of the filming of this movie.
