Here's another somewhat happy end to a proud rig!  It's not exactly a fire truck anymore.  They removed the pump and a lot of the equipment, but it retained its appearance as a fire truck!

Is this Aerialscope heading to auction or getting cut up for scrap?

You could have said that earlier.....

 

Central States didn't start up until 1983.  This would be a Central, manufactured in St. Louis, MO (aka Central-St. Louis).

Scrap.

 

With engines, bogies and transmissions bringing in big money, and metal as well, he will make a fortune when its done. Rode this rig a few times. Took a beating.

 

Stay safe, Brothers.
