Thanks Doc, I appreciate it! I found a box of slides my dad aquired from another collection that looks like mostly were shot by a B.Heuser, some have information on them and some of them do not but, after posting those two I better verifythem by the experts!

North Braddock
Engine 3
1970 Ward LaFrance Ambassador
B. Heuser slide June, 1973
no other info
Engine 3, North Braddock, PA, aka "Papa Grape"
1967 Ward LaFrance P75-1000GM-5
1000/500
Spec #75-07
The P75 Series combined the Ultravision cab and WLF body with a General Motors drivetrain and chassis, thereby reducing the cost. This one was later refurbed with a Mack diesel engine and front axle and, at last report, was sitting in the Keystone Fire Apparatus junkyard. Only a handful of P75's were built.
Thanks Frank! I have about 30 or so more to verify information on and see if anyone has any additional information on so stay tuned!

Wow thanks Dave, I didn't even know such a thing existed! I'm glad I posted this since I'm apart of GM automotive service educational program!
