Here are a few rigs from Somerset County, NJ
Bound Brook Engine (Hose) Co 1 operated this 1000 Series ALF. I think it is a 1973 Vintage. This photo shows it slightly modified with a reflective stripe. Photo from 1991.
Bound Brook Relief Co 4 operated this 1000 Series ALF. Company 4 operated this until the early 90's. The company was due to replace the engine and since the town LOST it's ladder company, Co 4 bought a 105 foor Pierce Quint. Ending the service of American LaFrance to this town. The rig was on eBay about a year or so ago. My photo is from 1978.
In Manville, NJ they operated an ALF Aero Chief. Truck 11 was delivered all white as was all Company 1 apparatus.
Later Manville decided to change all units to Red (or Red and White). The ALF was referbed and came back with a new paint job and new lights...
A note - Company 2 was red , and Co 3 was chrome yellow... Company 3 NEVER Switched colors and when Truck 11 was replaced in 1998 the new Simon/LTI came in WHITE!!! 
Here is an unusual Pacemaker conversion. San Francisco FD operated a 1974 ALF Pacemaker 85'Snorkel ( I think), that was later converted into a fuel-truck. Fuel 1 carried 2650 gallons of Diesel fuel and 1000 gallons of gas.
