[quote name='Truckman' post='56990' date='Dec 7 2006, 15:10 ']Mike, As I have indicated the three 1971 American LaFrance tractor drawn tiller aerials were bought and assigned to Truck 3 - 8 and 9. Later on Truck 7 ended up with on of these. I am thinking that it came from Truck 8 when they got the "Heniz 57" truck, a Continental on an International chassis with a 100 foot American LaFrance aerial.
Truck 2 never operated a American LaFrance Aerial.[/quote]
Truckman and Mike,
Appreciate the serial numbers and assignments of Richmond's 1971 ALF tillers.

This is what this Truck looked like after being in a bad MVA after hitting a flat bed loaded with concrete pipe. Rig had to go back to the factory for repairs.

This was the Truck that replaced to American LaFrance that went to Truck 7. It is an 1982 Continental, on an International chassis, with a 100 foot American LaFrance rebuilt aerial mounted on the rear.

In 1987 and 1988, I had the opportunity to visit Richmond on several weekends and photograph a good amount of the department.
I will post a sampling of some of the apparatus that has not yet been posted.
Engine 1's Wagon was a 1978 ALF 1500/500 with serial number CE 125786.
I like the dual warning lights on the roof.

Engine 6 is a 1977 ALF with 1250/500 and serial number CE-17-5898.

Richmond had a variety of mini pumpers at that time.

What I really enjoyed about the Richmond roster at that time was the variety of different apparatus manufacturers.
Truck 6 was a 1977 Seagrave PT20786 100' tiller.
Serial number G-76078

I recall this being one of my favorites during the trips.
Assigned as a reserve ladder truck - 1965 Duplex/Oren with a 1957 Pirsch 100'.
Oren serial number 2162 and I also have serial number H418, which I believe was the Pirsch ladder.

The Tactical Squad was running from Engine 6 during June of 1987.
1965 Duplex/Oren with a 1500/500. Sorry, no serial number.

The following year (1988), the Tactical Squad housed at Engine 6 had been assigned this 1977 Mack CF 1000/500 with serial number 1859. My notes show that this was old Engine 14 and had some rehab work done locally in 1987.

Another favorite of mine - Tanker 1.
1970 GMC/Oren 400/1500 with serial number 2881. It was housed with Engine 1 and Truck 2.
I believe that Richmond was running two tankers at that time.
