Here is a shot of the Saegertown ALF aerial when it was in service in Broadview IL. Not too sharp as it was scanned from an old slide taken by me in 1975. FLJack.

That Skippack rescue looks a lot like one that Fort Washington, PA had.

[quote name='alpowg' post='91300' date='Mar 26 2007, 19:30 ']Scott- Additional details:
The City of Reading (Berks Co.),PA purchased a 1956 GMC/Approved rescue truck. It had the custom body which featured a roof hatch through which a floodlight platform emerged via elevator. The interior had bench seats and accomodated stretchers which permitted this model to be used as a back-up ambulance. In the early 60s while transporting a patient to the hospital, the truck was involved in an accident at a city intersection. The patient died in the accident. The incident was the focus of legal problems for the city for years afterwards. My information states that Approved filed for bankruptcy around 1961. The damaged truck was rechassied with a new GMC (as shown in this photo). The body was repaired probably not by Approved. It remained in service until 1977. Eventually junked it was found in 2002 in a junkyard near Reamstown (Lancaster Co.),PA.[/quote]
I can not imagine the work that would be involved in rechassising an Approved rescue truck... the body looks like it is formed into the roof of the cab.... I can't imagine how you would do this without it looking like an obvious rechassis!!

Quote:I'm thinking of doing a similar thread for the states of Virginia and West Virginia. Will it be worth the scanning? Let me know what you think.

' /> It doesn't matter where they are from, I look at everything you post, as I'm sure many others do too. This thread has had over 40,000 views. I think that answers your question!
