In 1982 it was sent back to ALF for a refurb including a new Century cab, Diesel engine, automatic transmission, power steering, air brakes, and 100' stick. The original manual outriggers were retained, as were the (refinished) wood ground ladders. The booster system was removed. The original cab remained in Tulsa; rumor has it that it went to a whiteshirt's home as part of a recreation room. The third and fourth photos show her on the day she arrived back at the shop in 1983. She was one of only two TFD rigs to have the Federal #174 beacons; they oscillated back and forth, instead of rotating (the other rig was Engine 51, a 1965 Walters CB3000 crash truck). The box seen in these photos under the ladder contained a transmission that was sent with the truck, but that couldn't be used in the refurb. It was placed in service as Ladder 10 at 27's, where the truckies complained regularly about the lack of compartment space. Her last assignment was in reserve at 29's.
