[quote name='Toneslider12' post='264853' date='Dec 7 2008, 01:48 ']The Littleton Sutphen has always been very elusive in photos, even the LFD history book has maybe two very poor quality b&w shots of her. I'll look up the details later today but I think it was a 1978 Sutphen with an 85' tower which ran out of old 12's for its entire life. In 1983 the tower went into reserve and the 83 Pierce Arrow 55' Telesqurt ran out of 12's until 1998. Before the Sutphen LFD only had one other Truck Co. which was a late 60's Maxim mid mount 100' straight stick. That rig actually ran out of old 11's which was downtown at Rio Grande & Main, the site it now an RTD Lightrail parking lot.[/quote]
After some updated research just now I was incorrect on a couple things. The first Littleton Truck Co. was a 1961 Peter Pirsch with a 100' midmount. The Sutphen Tower "Truck 2" was a 1979 Sutphen 100' quint with a 1,000gpm pump, I can't find any info on tank size. The photos I've seen don't show any crosslays or pre-connects and a Paramedic Engine also ran out of 12's so it may have just ran as a straight truck.
