LARC 5- Landing and Resupply Cargo Model 5 Or as it is generally called, the Duck. Used in the late 70's through the early 80's to support the operations at the Annual Boat Race. Was set up with an crane boom and winch, to pick the entire boat up out of the water after crashing.	This ambulance was purchased in the mid 70's and continues to work today in a support role as a service truck. Ran as a primary ambulance for about 5 years, dropped down to run only transfers when newer, larger units became available.
Pamplico Dive Team, which operated from 1972 through 1980. Vince Haines, Chuck Haines, Derek Jeffcoat, Sammy Dantzler. This truck operated to recover bodies of drowning victims. Also helped recover several downed boats in the Pee Dee River. Saved one race driver from going to the bottom when his safety line snagged his sinking flipped boat during a race.	The largest ambulance ever run by Florence County, this unit was large enough for any average person to stand up in, and not hit his head on ceiling. It was in service for about 8 years, taken out of service in 1996. Lots of room, but too large for country roads and low tree overhead areas.
