I think it was 1975 Ford increased the width of the front fenderettes on their cab- they originally protruded approx an inch and later went out about three inches....hope that helps explain....anyone is free to correct/ add more....

Looking back at older photos of Ford C's, it was 1973. I had never noticed this before either, thanks for pointing it out!

I don't think that is an ALF, it has a Waterous pump. Perhaps a Boardman?

Not a Pierce, maybe a Darley? Looks like a Darley pump.

I posted this in another thread several years ago, but thought I would re-post it here:

While shooting rigs at the Clinch Mountain VFD in Hayter's Gap (Washington County), VA, they said that one of their old rigs was down the road in a farmer's field. We found it and got these shots. The farmer, who had some sort of a connection to the FD, indicated that he thought that this rig was ex-Baltimore. After looking at it, I was thinking perhaps BCoFD?



These nearly-head-on shots are all I could get due to how the fences were laid out.



Engine 171 1963 (?) Ford C/American 750/? (r/w, canopy cab, suspected ex Baltimore Co FD, possibly refurbed by Central Fire Apparatus of East Tennessee, removed from CMVFD service in 2005, sold to local farmer, shot in 2009 sitting at his farm mostly in pieces, American #2549-6-63)
