Very interesting rig:
1965 Ford F-850 Super Duty/Darley, full cab, 1000/1100, 150 lb. dry chemical system, JFS-300 2-stage pump, 477 CI V-8 gas motor, 5-speed manual transmission, 2.5KW prossar alternator, 35 ft hydraulic rear-mount utility ladder with a one man bucket, like the utility companies use, which was removed from a 1952 rig. The body was removed from the 1952 Dodge chassis. It also has a front-mount pump which was replaced in 1985, which makes this unit a one of a kind. It was put up for sale in 1992 when they got the new pumper. It was finally donated on 3/4/95 to "GOFERS" - Globel Operations Fire Rescue Service who shipped it to Haiti. I guess it never made it there since in 04/07 it was owned by Michael Yarnall-Boyertown,PA. Offered for sale-asked $1200-obo.
