1979 Ford/Darley formerly Engine 31 of the East 60 VFD (Shelby county Ky). Guy that owns it wants $6500 for it, but is going to turn it into a farm truck if he doesn't sell it by September, I told him good luck with that!

I happened upon two relics out in front of a flea market in Hunstville, AL this week. First is this ALF 700 Series 75' ladder, Reg #9317. The bodywork is not typical ALF. The four red lights across the bottom of the windshield are not typical either. I have a book- "FIRE ENGINES Motorized Apparatus Since 1900" by Sheila Buff that shows a head-on shot of this rig on page 95. There is a Tennessee tag on the front bumper. Does anyone recognize it?

The front of the other relic could be seen in the above shot. Here's a better one. It's a Diamond T/American Fire Apparatus 750/500, unknown year, no serial number to be found, but it was sold by Glen D. Culbert in Maryland. If anyone can fill in the blanks, go right ahead.

Dave,

This ALF was first delivered to Flourtown, PA. in 1952. Obviously rebuilt over the years.

Here is a unit that was used as a double for the movie Ladder 49.

While traveling around the Uxbridge, MA area during the 8th alarm, I stumbled across this Seagrave engine sitting on the side of the road. It had no trace what so ever indicating it's origin, but had the very faded name of some company on the door "Marine Contractors" or something of that nature. Has anyone seen this, or know of it's origin? It was on Route 146.

Such a nice rig...what a shame.
