Utica NY 1949 American LaFrance pumper

[John Kenealy]

I am on the board of a civic organization called Engine 11, its purpose is to support the Utica FD.  Every year, the group hosts a dinner to honor the Firefighter of the year as selected by the Chief, and the retirees from the present year. 

 

We are also restoring this 1949 American LaFrance,  which is still owned by the city.  It served as Engine 5, and then in reserve for many years as Engine 8.  This photo was pre-restoration.  One question I have is regarding a source of parts especially at this time, the rear fenders need replacing.  

 

I tried to visit the ALF Owners website, but registration is not open at this time.  There are some current posts which may seem helpful, but without registering, the contact info is not viewable.  

 

Anyone here a member of that site?  Or who might have a line on some parts for this truck? 

 

Thanks.
