John, [url="http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/index.php?showtopic=4237&st=740#entry438031"]here[/url] is the last photo posted of the ex Chesterfield/Glassport/West Newton rig. It breaks my heart to see it like that, especially since they offered to sell it to me, turn key, for $6000 in 2004. Alas, finances didn't allow for it at the time. What a fast, insanely loud rig!

That is from April of last year. I have no idea what happened to it, but my gut tells me it has been scrapped for whatever cash they could get out of it. West Newton is hurting financially, big time. Though this isn't the correct thread for it, they are also selling the x. Huntingdon, PA ladder. The Ford/E-One engine is gone, along with the Suburban squad. On the brighter side, they did get a newer E\-One (demo) and the x. Bladensburg, MD squirt is still going strong.
It did hurt to take that picture though...
