[i]Mattson Collection Yikes! That 52 GMC cab over looks as though it jumped right out of "Cars" Phil, Bklyn. Keystone State Relics - Guest - 07-17-2006 [color="#009900"]Lower Providence, PA operated this 1974 Ford C/Hamerly squad truck. This rig later served the Repaupo FC of Logan Township, NJ.

Hope not. Willow Street, PA had this handsome 1956 Ward LaFrance pumper. Engine # 512-B had a 500 gpm pump and a 500 gallon water tank. It was in reserve status when Bobby took this slide.

This classic was operated by the Hookstown, PA FD located in Beaver County. Awesome!

(Montgomery Co.),PA. Morysville Body Works was located just outside of Boyertown (Berks Co.),PA. When delivered it was painted all red. It featured a walk-in body with side compartmentation. In 1971 it was sold to Southampton (Bucks Co.),PA where it was repainted red and white as seen in the photo. In June, 1972 it was taken to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton,PA area where it assisted in providing aide to the flooding victims of Hurricaine Agnes. In 1976 it was sold to the Keystone Racetrack in Bensalem Twp. (Bucks Co.),PA. It went to the junkyard from there. By 1998 it was retrieved and restored by Jack Slattery-Bristol,PA. It has since been sold. Anyone know the current owner?

The body was unique with its side compartmentation and 750/1000 capacity. Its weight eventually caused the station floor under it to deteriorate which required reinforcement and repairs. In 1982 it was donated to the Alsace Manor FC (Berks Co.),PA when their station burned down and most of their apparatus was destroyed. In 1985 it went to Ruscombmanor FC (Berks Co.),PA. In 1991 it went to a MS location. Can anyone tell us where? Keystone State Relics - Guest - 07-17-2006 Love the pics absolutely awesome. |
