Quote:216.) 1968 American LaFrance Pumper Fair condition Blue 4x4 46918K motor 14956K highway 750GPM wooden ladders repowred with Detroit Diesel 6V-71 ex Pittsburgh E-8 West Brownsville VFD Indian Hill Bidder 151 $2525.25 *Note: Seen in IN on the Muster Circuit*
As stated, this was originally a red Pittsburgh rig. After East Carnegie (in Scott Township, south of Pittsburgh) lost thier station and all their apparatus to a fire (1980's?) the city donated it to them. That is why it is silver over blue. West Brownsville bought it and kept it the same color. 4x4=very rare, I believe
The Larimer Engine was purchased by some of the members of the fire department. However, the idiot (me) that is in charge of storing it has it sitting outside... It ran from 1967 until 2003 when it was sold to a collector out near Ebensburg. It ended up in Denbo in 2004. Big Model N Continental motor, eats gas and runs like a champ!
Some more info on the other local rigs later.
