TEXAS RIGS

[GA_Dave]

Okay - need help with this one. It has a Crown logo on it, but it is a White chassis? It is Horseshoe Bay, Texas' Ladder 1

1980 White/Crown/Pierce 1500/380/50’

PRC SN E0908

I checked my Crown list and found no match to this rig. It's not the first Pierce rig I've seen with a Crown logo. I think Crown was a dealer for Pierce years ago, but I'm not sure. However, it does have a Snorkel Telesqurt on it. As I've mentioned before, Snorkel was often the primary contractor and Pierce was their subcontracted body builder. The rig could have been spec'd with the White chassis. Do you know if this rig is original to Horseshoe Bay? If it was originally delivered to another FD, it could have been sold through Crown. Maybe you could ask Mr. Miller. He probably shot it years ago!



BTW, it's about time somebody shot some Killeen stuff! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hail.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I remember when 225 was delivered. KFD also had an older version, called 226. It was a Loadstar, possibly with a Boardman body. All of their rigs were white back then, except the Seagrave TDA. That was almost my first FD, my green uniform kept me from getting one of their blue ones!
