The box was built by HERMAN BODY COMPANY, a subsidiary of ALF. Herman was located in St. Louis. Their main line was beverage trucks. If memory serves me correctly, Herman built about 20 rescue style bodies on custom ALF and commercial chassis. The only one that I saw in service belonged to the Pine Hill Hose Co. in Cheektowaga, NY.
