Welcome to the Classic Tank Truck Gallery!

From Goodling Electric, of York PA, that is a Diamond "T" chassis. (They later merged with REO and formed the Diamond Reo trucks, then White Motors bought them, and then White and GMC HD trucks were bought by Volvo, some trip eh?) By the way the chassis on the picture above with the model is an F-6 Ford. Back to Goodling, the tank is a dual side delivery (NOT A REBEL) they had a name for it, I think it was a "Crusader", which had one 2C Marlow centrifugal high capacity pump, rated at over 125 GPM. (Blackmer was not a player then because they only had a 4 vane pump at that time and GPM was only about 60 GPM, they now have 6 vanes @ 125 GPM) This tank had two hose reels, and two Brodie meters, but only one pump. Goodling pioneered the high speed delivery with this truck, it had an "Olsen" electric throttle solenoid to speed up the engine rpm for faster pumping speeds, plus you could deliver out both sides of the truck, one side at a time or both sides at once, this kept the truck a good 3-4 feet shorter, because it did not have the bucket box with reel and meter hanging out the rear. Goodling was also involved with the tight-fill system, which instead of putting a nozzle tube into the fill pipe at the house, it involved a nozzle tube with a groove lock system that would lock on to the fill with an O-ring seal to prevent splash backs, and spills, Now there are about three different tight-fill systems in use: the "PHILLY" system, the "SCULLY" system, and the "TIMESAVING FILL" system, Goodling was involved with the "TIMESAVING" system. Which some drivers still refer to as the "YORK FILL" or "BAR FILL" because it has a steel cross-bar in the fitting on the fill pipe. Even back then Allied Tank was outfitting tanks with the developing latest technology. For it's day, this tank had the technology of tomorrow on the street. Allied still develops and implements new technology such the SmartAxle and OnSpot tire chains to help you deliver more easily in all seasons.
