ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A fire truck characterized by its reduced operating noise level and improved drive train includes a frame having front and rear regions. An occupant cab is mounted upon the frame front region, and the engine is located at the rear re- gion having a transmission associated therewith. A gear box mounted upon the frame intermediate the front and rear regions includes a close coupled fire pump attached thereto and the gear box includes an input shaft directly connected to the en- gine transmission. An output shaft of the gear box is di- rectly connected to the differential associated with the vehi- cle rear wheels, and shifting means within the gear box selec- tively connects the engine and transmission to the differential or the fire pump. The fire pump gear box eliminates an inter- mediary transfer case and provides significant cost and weight advantages as well as eliminating the need for special power transmitting components.
