Hey, I think I know the guy who started that thread.......
I was on a different computer when I wrote the post above, so I didn't have all my info with me. The Merrick, NY rig was a red open-cab 900 Series with a body similar to the Cheektowaga/Camden-Wyoming/South Bowers rig, but without a pump or tank. It was later sold to Hebron, NY.
LFPDT75 posted a photo of a rig similar to the Lock Haven rig, but from Coal Township PA in this thread, post #149. It could be the former Northumberland rig.

I have never been able to confirm that the Pleasantville, NY rig was a Herman, nor have I ever figured out the Odessa rig, which I have conflicting info about. One account has it as a Ford chassis, while photos show a 900 Series. One says Odessa, NY, another says Odessa, TX.
The info that started the whole ALF-Herman thing for me was an article many years ago in Enjine, Engine. The author had a short list and a few photos of ALF-Herman rigs. The subject interested me, so I began digging. I am surprised that only two of the rigs I have identified are on Mike's list! More digging to do.....
