[quote name='Rheems1' post='298111' date='Apr 18 2009, 23:41 ']Speaking of Fountaindale... they had a Spartan something pumper that had a Ford 534 gas motor in it... by the time I finally found Fountaindale it was gone (go figure). Anyone have a picture of that or more information??

Fritz, that mess was originally from Middleborough VFD in Baltimore Co.,MD. It was first a 76 Ford C-8000/Oren 1000/1000 that had a Spartan cab put on it in 87, then in 1990, Mason Dixon replaced the body. Fountaindale got it around 1995, and I shot it in 1997 at the Cumb. Valley convention in Waynesboro. It was replaced by the current ET3.

Obviously, Ed was given incorrect information. Through no fault of his own, he was sharing what he had been told. If only the ALF Spotter's Guide had been written back then.......
