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 bet that siren sounded real nice inside that cab, IIRC there isn't a head liner on this model cab. :o

What is the truck to the left? It looks like a cab-over White chassis.

Is it a fire truck?

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.
