[quote name='Rheems1' post='58704' date='Dec 14 2006, 19:27 ']I know this piece looks like a Hamerly, but it is actually an LTI. I didn't know LTI built pumpers, but when I saw it.. it had the LTI plate on the back of it.[/quote]
To my knowledge, maybe Dave Organ can confirm, LTI was NOT building fire apparatus bodies, aerials or pumpers, in 1977. They utilitzed other manufacturers, then Conestoga for their bodies. LTI badged pumpers didn't start appearing in quantity till the mid 1980s. I cannot explain an LTI badge on the back of this rig - maybe a refurb?
