[quote name='fyreline' post='48342' date='Nov 1 2006, 20:41 ']Unfortunately, as too many old fire engines do, the proud SFD 700's were reduced to junk. This is our former Engine 21, a 1948 1000 gpm, sitting in a field north of the city earlier this year.[/quote]
Ack! That's horrible. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
Here's one more from me that I just dug up tonight. This is one of the first decent pictures of a 700 Series that I took. Of course, at the time, I wasn't too interested in collecting serial numbers or the like. I couldn't tell you anything about the one apart from the fact that it appears to be a 1947-to-early-1949-vintage 700 Series. The one parked behind it is a 1951, which was re-powered in 1970 with a 501 International Engine (incidentally enough, Crown Coach Corporation re-powered it). I took this picture a good number of years ago while in Tustin, California.
