1916 NETCO Hose Wagon

Owner: Jeffery A. Trevas

                Tucson, AZ

The New England Truck Company of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, built commercial trucks with components from a variety of manufacturers. This 1916 NETCO was delivered to the nearby Worcester Fire Department as a Model F chassis at a cost of $2,450, and was completed by the department as a Hose Wagon. Powered by a Continental 477-cu.in. straight-six, with a 4-speed Brown Lipe transmission installed during a 1930's retrofit, its original engine was a Continental four cylinder. In addition to 500-600 feet of 2-1/2" hose, it has a PTO 75gpm rotary gear pump and 30-gallon water tank. Few trucks were built on NETCO chassis, and this Hose Truck, believed decommissioned during the mid-1950's, is the only known example in restored condition.
