Straight from the Van Pelt book, this is a 1962 Van Pelt Custom 300 with a 75' Hi-Ranger platform, #615552. It was powered by a Hall-Scott motor and would later get a white/red paint job. Van Pelt built their own custom chassis from 1960-1977. Early versions used a cab constructed by Van Pelt, but later models used the TCM cab.

Originally delivered to Plymouth, Mass. Even though "Manomet" is a section of town right on the ocean, the piece was not lettered this way when still in service. This pic shows it when it was privately owned by a damn fine gentleman, who unfortunately passed on way too early. Whereabouts unknown today, R.I.P. Glen. TJ

Amazing the things you come across here and seeing the equipment people you knew rode before you knew them. Thanks for the memories Scott; RIP Ray.
