I agree that it was likely the white/lime yellow paint scheme when built. Can you get the spec number from that rig? It should be on the same plate that shows the pump capacity. Technically, the only 1977 they had was 80-1454. It should have a 1500 GPM pump and 500 gallon tank and be diesel powered. Correct me if I'm wrong, that's just what I've been told. Thanks!





GaDave, U Da Man, our fire truck club's Ward LaFrance is 80-1454. GOOD CALL. So you think this truck in '77 was white with lime yellow?

I would say yes, as that was what Rochester was running in the '70's. In the early 1980's they began using the "Quint-Midi" system, and changed to white/red paint. I did make one error, the pump should be a 1250, not a 1500.
