I was told that the replacement plans have been placed on hold. Possibly financial reasons.

I was going to post some scans but I went to post and they are larger than allowed. I am rushing out the door shortly for a camping trip so I dont have time to resize all of them---my apologies for the tease!! I'll see if I can get a few posted and the rest will have to wait.

OK, one more...
I bought this photo the other day from Walter Curran. It is of a 1938-1939 Ford COE (presumed to be a Farrar built). I was really excited to see this photo, because my Dad used to own one of these. He really didn't know anything about the truck when he owned it other than it was a former MA Forest Fire truck. About 10 years ago, my Dad donated it to the State DEM or DCR (or whatever they are called now) for restoration. After donating it, we found out the story behind it and how unique it was. Forest Fire Warden Crowe bought 14 of these and distributed them through the Commonwealth in the 1930's. I don't think they have done any work on it to date. There was a nice photo story of the truck being pulled from his yard on the website [color="#FF8C00"]CapeCodFD.com[/color], but I just looked and couldn't find it.

Howie, you sure that's a '67? Looks like the wider 70's F cab w/the larger jumpseat windows, etc.
Massachusetts Fire Apparatus - Guest - 08-22-2008
Could be, I was just listing the info on the slide without really looking at 'em. Wanted to get them listed before I went camping.
They did own a 1967 (with Young bodywork) and a 1972. Other than the "indent" under the door it still looks like a late 60's. The "indent" was more typcial on the wider 1970's cabs, but it can get confusing.
