1973 GMC/Swab with 50 foot boom. Was purchased new. Replaced in 2001-03 range with a rig that was from a utility company out of Virginia if memory serves. My late grandfather was a founding member and the first chief of the organization.

Replacement rig from Kentucky. Do they still exist? When I went there to photograph the "new" boom unit about a year ago, they had recently lost funding from the town and things were not looking good for them to be able to stay in operation.
