Great pictures, as always, Scott. Did the 1966 WLF from New Egypt have a model name like Ambassador or FireBrand?

Quote:Lakewood, NJ Hook & Ladder Company had this rare 1978 Ward LaFrance Ambassador/LTI 85' tower ladder. Truck # 6805 had a 1250 gpm pump and no water tank. I'd like to hear comments on who the body builder was. Is this one of those examples of a WLF that was finished by someone else?
Spec Number 80-1299. My guess on the body builder would be Connestoga Custom Products. They were the contracted body builder for L.T.I. back then. As you can see, the pump panel area is all WLF, but from there back, it isn't typical WLF style.

Quote:Now to the western-most fire station in Ocean County, NJ. The New Egypt VFC of Plumstead Township, NJ operated this 1976 Ward LaFrance Ambassador pumper. Engine # 3911 was equipped with a 1250 gpm pump and a 1000 gallon water tank.
Spec Number 80-1321, now serving Gatlinburg, TN.

Spec Number 82-11. Ward LaFrance built about 120 apparatus using the TCM (Cincinnati) cab. They were known as Model 82's. There was no name given for this chassis.

A different Kinder Morgan rig. From the spring 2005 of the National Foam 10k gpm Ironman monitor system.

Think that beast is huge? Search up the Iron Man Deluge System, that's awesome.
