I'm sure this has probably been covered in other forums, but if anyone needs Ward Lafrance information (factory photos, blueprints, etc.) or SOME parts, contact Mr. John Burzichelli, through www.wardlafrance.com
John is a New Jersey State Assemblyman, and either currently is or was the mayor of Paulsboro, NJ. John owns what is left of WLF, including all factory archives- blueprints, photos, etc etc etc. John also has a LIMITED amount of parts.
If you email him or call him, be prepared to wait a few days for a reply- he is a busy man as most politicians are, but he loves fire trucks, and will get back to you in a few days to talk "shop."
And good luck Dave! Stock up on Detroit parts now while you can! They're beginning to become hard to come by!
