Quote:From a production standpoint, the chassis was called a Model 80, 85, or 87. The Model 80 has the motor located between the jumpseats. The Model 85 has it between the driver and officer seats. The Model 87 was designated for those units built by Maxim, with Maxim badging, that were built after Ward LaFrance closed.
Thanks for the information! I knew that the 87 #'s were Ward's (in my Maxim database that is) but I wasn't aware of the 80's and the 85's. That makes a lot of sense now!!
