I believe the combination of Century cab and screw outriggers would indicate a refurb. Our 67 900 series had hydraulics, although they may have been an option. Were any Centuries built with the old manual jacks?

This truck served as Graham Truck 1 and also served Burlington before that. Not sure on the year, but the serial # would put it being around a 1984-1985 model.

[/quote]That was a Maxim that was original to Elkins Park Pa. Then it was sold to a company upstate. Bill Foxall from Rockledge bought it then used it for a while. My grandftather bought it off him and too kthe engine out to put in his 54 Maxim from Westville NJ, but he never made the swap, he sold the 54 and motor to a guy from Westville. From my grandfather, it went to Bristol so a friend could use the tires, but that never happened. Now Sam Simon has it, dont know what hes going to do with it.

no... this is an older truck. the highest verified ALF serial number (after they went over 10K in the 1966 and started over again at 0001) was 8223, a 1985 ALF from West Sedona, Arizona.
This rig is registration # 9383, not 9389. it is a 1954 and had a mid 80's ALF rehab when the century cab was installed.

Oh, no wonder I couldn't find it around 1985 or so in the 1970-1990 ALF database . Thanks for the corrected info Mike!

I found this sitting at a auto dealer in Currituck County, NC. I feel like I have seen this before.
Looked all over this truck and found nothing to indicate the year. The pump panel has ALF s/n 12-1-624.
Can anyone provide info on this truck?
Thanks,

Found these 1960s FWD-Farrar brushbreakers sitting in a surplus state vehicle lot at Westboro State Hospital. Someone already scavenged all the logos and nameplates off them.
Relics - Guest - 08-27-2009
Breaker 19 was also numbered Breaker 25
Relics - Guest - 08-27-2009
Breaker 19/25

As an added bonus, there was also a late model Maxim sitting beside the breakers - former Engine 3 from the state firefighting academy...

Mike and all, this is a 1967 and its for sale. It is at Kill Devil Hills, NC.
I have the lady's e mail address if anyone is interested. A PM will get the address.
Herewith is the info on this ride:
"Great Deal on a 1967 American LaFrance Pumper Firetruck!!! MUST SELL..Only asking $6,000.00.
Please help...Moving and must sell!!
1967 American LaFrance Pumper Firetruck. Shipping weight is 17,812. Gross weight on registration is 22,000. 671N Detroit diesel engine. Model is Metropolitan. American LaFrance twin flow pump. All paperwork and manuals on the firetruck are included. Discharge hoses as in the picture are also included. Tires are in good condition. We drove the firetruck from NY to North Carolina. 671 Diesel Engine has been worked on and is running great! The following work was done: Replaced Motor Head, 3 pistons, sleeves and rings. New belts and hoses. Fixed lines and radiator. New brackets and lines on the pump. Complete service and tune-up. Most parts were purchased from Western Branch Diesel and we have receipts. We were starting a pressure washing business with this truck and due to an illness we are unable to continue with our plans. We are now having to moving and will be unable to take the firetruck with us. This is a great Business Opportunity too! The firetruck was painted baby blue and black water drops were added. Also a mascot, H2Otis is on the firetruck in several places. If you wanted to paint it back to red there should not be a lot of body work to do. The inside of the cab has not been repainted. It is still red with the original seats and radios attached. Lights and sirens work. The name and all the paperwork I have aquired to do this business will be included if you want to start your own. A Clear Title is Available. Being a 1967, this would be a great addition to any collection."
Here are three photos she sent to me.

Two old pumpers once operated by the Richmond, VA Fire Department.
Taps have been sounded for these wonderful old Mack’s, left dying in a field!
