Dave, the Rescue from Steelton in Post #1714, you have part of the history of the rig correct.  It originally started out with the East End Fire Company No. 6 of Steelton as Engine 54.  The East End then closed and this engine was given to the Baldwin Hose Company No. 4 of Steelton where it ran as Engine 53-1.  It then became Rescue 53 with the Baldwin Company shortly before the 4 remaining companies in Steelton merged and than it became know as Rescue 50.

Maybe it bought used or even maybe new(leftover from a fleet order) that way.  Some stepvans used to have the lift/bucket  kinda like a telephone truck. The bucket used to sit right there on the passenger side.

Thats what I was thinking of

Could be a bit breezy riding in the officers seat.

Any chance the Nottingham Ford is a Sanford or a young? The body work and cab extension is definitely not a thibault unless it was rehabbed.....

I think this was a 1971 Ford C/Bruco 1,000/750 which was purchased by Nottingham in 1984 from Southampton (also in Bucks County, PA).  Nottingham had a 1966 Ford C/Thibault which I think was 800/500 and was sold in 1984 to Lake Silkworth (Luzerne County, PA).

BRUCE CONFIRMED THAT IT IS THE 1971 FORD C/BRUCO. I HAD THE INFO FOR THE OTHER ONE.
