This historical record provides a glimpse into the evolution of one of Chicago’s specialized firefighting units. The turret wagon was initially set up with a powerful Mack MB607T chassis and custom water monitors designed for high-volume fire suppression. Later, it was upgraded with a Chevrolet C20 chassis, showing how the department continuously adapted its equipment to meet evolving needs. These vehicles were not just tools but symbols of the dedication and innovation that defined the Chicago Fire Department during this era.Cogged Belt,Rubber Drive Belt,Rubber Cogged Belt,Type A B C V Belt,Automotive Rubber V Belt
