I think I posted this a few years ago, but what did we determine regarding Truck 417? I know Mack used the C-series cab for one of their cabovers using 4 headlights. The front sheet metal looks like a Ford, but look at the grille and the side sheet metal. Very strange! I guess up in Canada they don't abide by silly rules like saying a truck has outlived its usefulness after 20 years! Although I think New York keeps its trucks a longer time. And even if you consider the electrical (including wiring itself) and hydraulic (ladder) systems, diamond plate, steel, aluminum, paint etc., a fire truck shouldn't cost $1 million! But it's like selling apples for $1 million a piece. All you have to do is sell one! And since they don't sell that many fire trucks, they're going to ask top dollar for the ones they DO sell! So in 2014, this truck was 55 years old!
