THINGS FROM MY COLLECTION

[GA_Dave]

This photo is of a 1962 ALF-Herman delivery for Lock Haven, PA. It is one of at least four similar rigs built with the others going to Kings Park, NY (1959); Northumberland, PA (1961); and Lehighton, PA (1961). Another body style of similar dimensions had additional compartments and a booster pump in place of the crew compartment. One of this design, built on a Ford F-500 chassis, was delivered to Garrett, IN in 1959. A larger, walk-in style body was used for the rescue for Claymont, DE. It was built on a 1958 GMC chassis.

The Wheaton Rescue Squad in Wheaton, MD operated a walk-in heavy rescue built on a 1960 Ford C Series chassis. A photo of this one appears in the Iconografix book "Heavy Rescue Trucks 1931-2000" on page 43. This is a large body, similar to the Pine Hill rig, but without the pump and tank.
