Found this Ford-Bean (?) at a repair shop in downtown Phoenix this morning. I searched high and low for a builder plate but without success. Digital sign boards have been added to the sides where the ground ladder and hard sleeves would be found.
Looks from what I can see in the pic that the rear edge of the compartments slopes at an angle at the top; suggesting a Bean/FMC build. Not much else to go on, though.
I found this "Turf Rescue" unit in the parking garage at Saint Mary Medical Center in Langhorne, Bucks County, PA. I believe this was retired from Barnegat Light Vol Fire Co (Ocean County, NJ), where it was their Surf Rescue unit. It is now used by a landscaping company.
I found this truck en route to a Christmas parade this week. It's now privately owned in the Western North Carolina area, along with 3 other rigs. This is just a grab shot from where it was sitting at the gas station when I saw it. The owner gave me permission to come shoot all four of his rigs, which I plan to do spring or summer of 2014.
Thanks to Mike Martinelli & Greg Stapleton for their help on the history of this truck!

I found a 1080ish tillered Seagrave in Millville New Jersey. The markings indicate it was once Ladder 2 in North Hudson. Anyone got additional information? Don't have the skills to post the pictures
My father found this engine in a junk yard outside of Utica NY. Its a 1930's E series Mack. Originally a military apparatus they were sold to volunteer departments after WW2 for $1. This one lived part of its life in Otter Lake NY.
