Pat,
Your right, the old Newport truck is almost identical. Could it have been the same truck? I know that the Newport rig
was a 1960 IH VCO196/Bruco 750/450 with a 65' Grove ladder. I photographed it back in 1998.
It's the same rig. reference: Todd Lincoln in 6/95 Fire Service Digest. Bruco did a minor rehab, but I am not sure for which dept.
Juergen Keifer posted it as Newport in the Bruco thread, but I consider it more of a Howe, since there is little change apparent.
