That's where I'll leave off for tonight. Tomorow we'll continue with St. Louis FD appartus purchased in 1963.

hey steve,
were any of the Macks engines that st. louis purchased with F673 Diesels or were they running the 707C gas motor in them?

Andy- My best guess is that they were all still gasoline powered at this time. The Mack serial number would indicate that they were gasoline powered. I believe Mack's with diesels had a "D" after the "C95F" in their serial numbering.

I think you have to load 4" & 5" flat, the couplings need to feed out, they can get stuck fron a side load.

In 1963 the St. Louis Fire Department puchased this 85-foot Snorkel. It was assigned to Snorkel 4 in 1965 as seen in this photo. The department listed it as a FWD, while Duane had it listed as a 1863 TCMI/Pittman #105582.

The 1963 Mack B tractor (B85F-1479) purchased to tow the 1942 Seagrave 100-foot aerial was gone by the time Duane visited in 1976.
The department purchased two of these tough looking 1964 FWD/Central 1000/300 pumpers in 1964.
???? StLFD #90 E10-Fm 2 1964 FWD/Central Semi-open 1000/300
???? StLFD #130 E30-Fm3 1964 FWD/Central Semi-open 1000/300
By 1976 they were both running as Foam Wagons. Here is Foam Wagon 2 in 1976.

In 1966 the department received this Mack C/Baker 75-foot Tower Ladder, Mack #C85FAP-1343 which was originally assigned as Snorkel 14 (still lettered that way) and Snorkel 8 as pictured here.

In 1967 the department purchased a Seagrave 100-foot TDA, Seagrave #Q4320, StLFD #125. I couldn't find a photo of this in Duanes 1976 slides.
Here is a photo that has me totally confused. It is of a Seagrave pumper lettered for Engine 25. It is not listed in Duane's pocket notebook at all. What's stranger is that Duane also has a photo lettered "Engine 25" with a 1968 Mack R pumper.
Please help me identify this pumper!!!!

Great Shots Steve. Very Very enjoyable looking at all the old photos.
Also on a side note the STLFD still uses the same scanner freq (154.130) and they still have the same call sign also.
Keep the pics coming Im looking forward to see more.
St. Louis Metro - Guest - 07-28-2007

I love the old StLFD stuff!!
