Truck 58 from the Rose Fire Co. No. 1 in New Freedom was a International CO-8190 with bodywork from American LaFrance and 100' midmount ladder.



The second photo shows this ladder after a roof-addition and with a new color-scheme.

Wellsville/PA had this interesting 1970 Gerstenslager rescue, that was built on an International chassis. Originally it was in service in Centereach/Long Island. I like these bookmobile style custom-rescues very much.
