Actually Allegany Co., Baltimore Pike is an unincorporated suburban area adjacent to Cumberland, similar to Bowman's Addition, Bedford Road, Wiley Ford, Bowling Green,etc.

Unfortunately the Dodge disappeared over 20 years ago...

Found out this came from Westfield, NJ. Union County.

Anybody know where it went to after Hurlock?

Thanks Scott! This Fords Prairie, WA rig was actually a Lewis County, WA unit. It was later refurbed as many Hamerly's were into an unrecognizable newer looking truck.
