Great discussion and photos, guys! Even though I'm still thinking it's a 700 series (the bumper is the most distinctive difference), It could've been replaced for damage repair or something. However, if I had to choose from one of the photos that's been posted, it seems as if the '57 (serial 9466) shown as Engine 17 is closest, if for no other reason the bracket that holds the beacon. On the rig I photographed, it has the a bracket that sticks out to the front a bit (although the lens is solid red, rather than the clear with red and white bulbs - obviously replaced, since I think DFD always had clear lenses only). In the other photos, the beacon is directly attached to the cab roof, a little bit back from this one.



I'll try my best to go over there this morning with a bit longer lens, and try to get a shot through the fence. Does anyone know anybody at Lakeside that they could ask? It is back there with some other "generic" work trucks, and it looks like an overflow from Lakeside.



Cheers!
