Not a total restoration, but back when the shops could do almost anything. Considering how beat they got, they did get a few more years out of them
Do you have any pics of old L-11, the Sutphen/Pirsch?[/quote]
S 366, 1978
1978 marked the end of a 40-year era with Pirsch aerials when the Department received this piece. S 366 had a Sutphen tractor and a 100’ Pirsch 4-section ladder. It was our last open-bed truck and last Pirsch. The Shops added a facing jumpseat on the driver’s side to keep the sixth man off the running boards.
