Quote:Were any of the LA City rigs special built?
Depends on what you mean by "special built". Custom apparatus are just that, "custom", or customer specified. Within the parameters of WLF's designs, the LA City rigs were special built for LA City.
Quote:I don't recall many other customers who ordered open cab Wards.
Including the 22 for LA, Ward LaFrance built at least 73 open cab Model 80 apparatus and at least 18 Model 82's (TCM cab).
