This is what I got on the rig from Manoa:



1955 GMC coe/Approved, full cab, enclosed walk-in rescue. This was purchased used around 1964 from the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad of Maryland (can anyone confirm this - picture ?) who may of got it used from the U.S.Navy. It was sold to Darby Township #4 (Delaware County) in 1970 who rechassied it on a 1969 GMC.

[quote name='jlg1875' post='317895' date='Jun 29 2009, 22:49 ']Thanks for the info! Since this thread is about 238 pages long, any chance you could repost the photos from St. Vincent if you were the one who posted them? I'd really love to look through all the photos for them but don't have the time! I've got an avid interest in college/university fire depts., I graduated from Rutgers University and we used to have a fire dept. with 2 engines but it was disbanded about 10 years ago (that's a very long story). Stay safe![/quote]

Post 4459 on page 223 of the Keystone relic thread shows the 800 series ALF from St. Vincent. Post 4505 on page 226 shows the tanker, and post 4522 on page 227 shows another shot on the St. Vincent ALF.

South Media replaced this truck in 1990 with this Pierce Lance rescue.

This truck was then replaced by a Quantam in 2005
