[quote name='mnsand' post='198722' date='Mar 21 2008, 17:11 ']Here is what the 1980 Sutphen replaced....this older International/Sutphen 85'. Ron advised me that this Sutphen is still in service at a department not far from Elkins.
Anyone have information on this truck? Year, purchased new, etc.?

Mike,
Tower 2 is a 1967 International CO8190/Sutphen 1000/250. I had it as a 75'? According to a Sutphen delivery list, it was the 8th tower that Sutphen
built and was purchased new by Elkins.
When I was last in Elkins back in 1998, I photographed the current tower and it was numbered 401 and did not have the ladder board. They also had
a Haz-Mat vehicle, which I did not see and was told it was a beverage type truck that Elkins purchased 1997-98 also from Altamonte Springs, FL. I
was told it was still painted white & red. If you didn't see it on your recent trip, I'm wondering if Elkins ever put it in service?
On my first trip to Elkins back in 1984, there also was E6, a 1976 International L1700/1969 Sutphen front mount pumper, 500/750 painted solid white.
