Here's a Ford/ALF from 1's and the Pioneer III from 2's. Again, I've yet to find the notebook that has the stats for these trucks (but it's here somewhere).



I'd like to have seen the open-cab International. Boardman records show that the GFD purchased a pumper from them in 1957, but I've never seen it or a photo of it...was it a Boardman?



Here's a link to the GFD website: [url="http://www.gainesvillefirerescue.com/index2.htm"]http://www.gainesvillefirerescue.com/index2.htm[/url]

Just got word today from a GFD Captain that one of the ALF Pioneer III's was sold to Moss Lake Volunteer Fire Department, NW of Gainsville. Also heard rumor a number of times from GFD Firemen the other ALF Pioneer III went to Lindsey, Texas Volunteer Fire Department west of Gainsville.
