The last time we were at his place was during the SPAAMFAA Nationals in 2005. Now that you've mentioned it, I might have a picture of that truck. I'll have to check. I'd love to see more pictures of it, though.



Here's the information for at least four ALF 700s that were delivered to Beaumont, Texas:



1947 American LaFrance 700 Series 100-foot Aerial

7-100-AJO, Reg. No. L-3105



1948 American LaFrance 700 Series Engine

775-PJO, Reg. No. L-3519



1953 American LaFrance 700 Series Engine

775-PJO, Reg. No. L-4843



1955 American LaFrance 700 Series 85-foot Aerial

7-85-AJO, Reg. No. L-5322[/quote]



Here are more recent photos of Beaumont Ladder 3, as restored by the Lone Star Fire Museum, especially Ken Paradowski.



BTW, our numbers on the 4 700's match up with yours (probably coming from the same source). We just missed the first 2 rigs when we looked the first time.
