Well, the rig I was looking at came from Covington in Lackawanna County. It started life as an IH VCO/ALF 65' The ladder was removed and placed onto a Brockway chassis and different body. But after that I think it was put on another chassis. Might this be the rig in question? If it is, then the body was replaced or very heavily modified. The pic in KSFAN has a different body on it.

Darin,
The Covington rig (one of my favorites) was as you described.. ladder came from the IH VCO chassis... they took thier Brockway pumper, stretched the frame, added outriggers (supposedly from the VCO also) and put the ladder on it. That truck, as far as I know, was taken out of service is and now part of the Brockway collection up in Cortland, NY. It was a really, really odd bird especially considering it started life as a pumper and was turned into a ladder truck.
