These were probably on the 1014 chassis, which was a standard commercial model, although it was also used extensively as a basis for water tenders as well as a lot of various specials. When the more powerful Perkins V8 engine was offered in the fire service special 1317 chassis, it became much more popular, as it had the same power unit as the custom Dennis and ERF chassis at that time. But for many buyers - including LSC - the less expensive 1014 got the job done.
