This crew cab was used on a large number of non emergency municipal vehicles built by Karrier. But of all the fire appliances with crew cabs which were built on the same chassis, it seems that these Northumberland units were the only ones with this crew cab. All the others had bodybuilder crew cabs, often based on full width front cowl extensions.
Perhaps this cab offered a crew seat area which was generally considered too narrow, too low or too short for a fire crew?
