And 16 inch wheels would make this truck even slower !

What a great looking truck!

Formed in 1965 as "The Gorge" brigade, Hornsby Rural Fire Brigade's first tanker was a 1942 ex-army Chevrolet Blitz nicknamed "Puff the Tragic Waggon". In 1971 it was passed on to the West Pennant Hills Brigade and then used as a farm vehicle near Mudgee until being relocated in 2001. The restoration was completed in 2008
