Yeah, lots of those old rigs would not go very fast. Which in one way was good, because their stopping distances were incredibly long. Our fire district had an old GMC tanker that carried about 3000 gallons of water. It had an early Pontiac V8 engine, but I don"t think it would exceed 45 and it took miles to get it up that fast. It would stop eventually, but you wanted to think about stopping way before you had to.
But it was what we had for a tanker back in the 60"s and it hauled a lot of water for us. Too much weight with too little power and really inadequate brakes. Kind of scary sometimes! We got better equipment a few years later.
