After getting to Manning I shot these trucks sitting along I-95,first is this American LaFrance ladder which was marked for Albermarle City and I think is a 85' model.
I was told it was a 1949 but I have my doubts as I didn't think that cab came out until later and the Detroit engine brought a tear to my eye.
It also had markings on the cab as a Foamite.

That is a 900 series Terry. Probably around 1972 - 1975 or so. It is a pre century style with the double windshield wipers as the century had.
The 1949's would have been a series 700.
