I am reviewing this thread. What a unique Rig.

The truck looks cool with the Aerial tower. Do you know how many of these there was?

I shot this rig last summer. It is pretty much all original, with no upgrades or changes from when it was new, including paint. It is in very good condition.

I have more info on this one and a few others at home. I believe this was original to Orlando. This is a 7500 series pumper. The 7500's were a less costly apparatus, made that way by the use of General Motors chassis and drivetrain, instead of the full custom WLF chassis. Very few 7500's were built.

After a bit of research, this one served as Engine 64 in Orange County, FL. I have it as a 1000/500.
