[quote name='Howie' post='158602' date='Oct 26 2007, 19:53 ']Wow, I knew that there was a 1958 Maxim from Jackson Township, OH that was sold to a department in Canada, but this is clearly not the same truck. This is early to mid 1950's vintage. If someone had a SN I could tell you where it came from. Without, its pretty difficult. I found nothing in my database under a Novia Scotia or Canada search.[/quote]
Here's a shot of the former Jackson Township rig taken in June of 06. The truck in question had no identifyable markings(I looked for about a 1/2 hr) much to the dismay of my better half! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_lalala.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Found this old thing sitting on a street off US-49 in Gulfport MS back in the mid 90's.

I found this old International water emergency truck at Tom's Trucks in Manassas, Virginia. Ex- Baltimore City, Maryland.
Anyone have any specs on this?
Thanks,

Mike, that truck was used by the city water department to respond to "water emergencies" they have a couple of them.

In response to post #993 on page 100. I looked through about 7 albums for any pumper that had the same body configuration. The closest I could come up with was a 1954 pumper from Richmond, IN. I'll post it and you guys can tell me what you think.
Just note that the pumper (E-6) in this factory photo I have posted is currently owned in IN, so this cannot be the same truck in Novia Scotia. However, Richmond IN owned three other pumpers with the same body style - a 1949, 1950 and 1951. This is strictly an educated GUESS. I can't post both the old and new photo together, so will do it seperately. First is a repost of RockyGenes (Rob Kemps) photo...

There were three other trucks, there but the had no identification marks and were parked to tight to get a good photo.
Where was this photo of the Mack E8 taken????
Thanks

Howie, It is pretty close. However look at the rear of the cab as the Photo of The Richmond Pumper doesn’t have the “flare” towards the hose bed. The old rig cab has that. Other than that these pieces from that time were pretty much a look a like.

Steve,
The photo was taken this past Spring up on Route 3 near the Center Harbor/Holderness town line. There were a few other trucks there that day.
Do you have any idea of what year it is?
Thanks,
Eric

Not long ago, I snapped a quick photo of this ancient ALF engine in a parade in New Bloomfield,PA. We were informed that it was a 1917 model, originally from Omaha, NEB.! Very faded O.F.D./ Omaha Fire Department lettering was visible on the hood.

View of the builder's plates.
Would any of the forum ALF experts have any more info on this old beast? Wonder how it got so far from home; it's owned by a New Bloomfield resident.

Guy I work with found this Mack at Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria, VA. He didn't get any numbers off of it and couldn't make out any names. Any idea where she came from?

Thanks, Joe, for the confirmation! It's nice to know someone is looking at what I post...

Abington had 2 which are possibilities
a 1941 A9925 which the painters record ends right before this one
a 1948 D6250 which was a model 66 with a 750 GPM pump
Mike
This strictly a SWAG, but my FD used to have a '49 with this nose on it. Would the '41 still be a 'sweetheart' grille? What year did they end anyway? I'm guessing this is the '48.
I believe that this is the '48. It used to belong to, well two different friends of mine who had the best of intentions. The guy who first owned it is the same guy I got my '44 from.

Sitting off in a field in Tazewell, Virginia is this 1963 Ford C/ALF 65' with serial number 21-8820. I am not sure if Tazewell was the original owner or not. Anyone have any information based on the serial number?
Thanks,

Hoping some of our Maryland (and especially Montgomery County) folks can confirm this wrecked engine.
This is sitting in Pennington Gap, Virginia and is marked for the Campbelltown County Rural VFD, which I believe is in LaFollette, TN.
I have very little info on this truck because not much is left.
I believe it is from Gaithersburg, Maryland - their old 1976 Duplex/Pierce 1250/500. I have no information where this engine went when it left Gaithersburg. See next post for Gaithersburg photo.
