L.A. City converted four of their 14 1972 Ford C8000/ALF 1000/500 pumpers into Squads. Pictured in this great Chuck Madderon photo is ALF #2-1-3113, which had been originally assigned as Engine 106, is pictured here as Squad 27, and later became USAR 27 (Urban Search and Rescue). Here is a 1976 Duane Troxel shot of it running as Engine 106 (Pumper, when they had two piece engines, one lettered as the "Pumper" and the other piece the "Wagon".)



Thanks kieferfire!
