This 1947 GMC/Vanpelt Pumper started life serving the Needles Fire Department of San Bernardino County. Later, she was purchased by a private collector from Lake Havasu City Arizona. He had the rig repainted to an LACFD paint Scheme that was dedicated to the memory of a friend of his who was an LACFD Captian that passed a while back. The number on the door was the former Captian's badge # Thats the story I was told by the owner anyway.
