Scott,
Additional info on the West Bradford rig:
1974 Ward LaFrance Ambassador, canopy cab, 1000/800. This was the first canopy cab ordered by the company, Detroit 6V53,
automatic, Wisconsin 3.5 KW generator. It was housed on 9/16/78. It was refurbed, rebodied, and repainted by LTI in 1987. It was repowered with a Cat 3116, 250 HP, in 1989. Transmission blew in early 2000, tough to get parts for. Originally all yellow. Still in service, in dire need of replacement. Motor is strong, body & cab are rusting off of it.
