Emblem on the front, I believe it's a Road Runner small mfg that was in the Phoenix area I believe. Only in business for a few years.

Thanks Jeff. It is indeed a Road Runner logo. Couldn't find something with that name on a truck chassis.

The air horns are presumably single-tone - "meep, meep"?

Rob!The horns sounds like as they do on a locomotive, not
"meep, meep"!100 Db in a dinstance of 30 feet!!!In Sweden, they works together with orginal horn, when the emergenylight is on! And if you not hear them, you got problems with your ears!

Anders - the Road Runner is an American cartoon character whose call sign is "meep, meep!", so the fire truck bearing the same logo should sound the same!

Rob, I wonder if they ever had a Wile's Jeep as well ;-)

I'd like to know the history behind this rig. The lighting configuration on top was only used in a few places.

Martin - nice one, my friend! I wonder if they used any Acme products, too?

Hi Rob! "Meep-Meep"? In Sweden, the name is:Hjulben, and I know that his sound is Meep-Meep!
