[quote name='smketrfdny' post='280112' date='Feb 8 2009, 11:26 ']After the ALF tiller, L-3 had a 110 RM E-1. Damaged in a wreck with L-4(Spartan/E-1 135', Ex-L-1) 01/30/96, they had no rig until 06/97, when L-3 received old L-6, the 2nd 135' E-1 in DCFD.
After 98, someone can fill that in.[/quote]
After the 135’ truck, Truck 3 received a new Seagrave 100’ tillered in 2001, followed by the new 95’ Seagrave tower in 2003.
So what does this photograph have to do with anything? Nothing. This is the old gal smketrfdny just up and left and abandoned way back when: DCFD’s one-of-a-kind 1978 Sutphen/ Pirsch (Shop serial S-366). This rig was the last open-bed truck and last Pirsch (after a 40-year run). The Shops added a facing jumpseat on the driver’s side to keep the sixth man off the running boards. She retired from Truck 11 in 1993 and went into reserve status. Eventually she disappeared from the roster and smketrfdny can never come home again. c.1978 Photo.
