That ALF with the portrait on the cab front was a favorite at many paades in and around Morris County for years. When it was new, Birchwood brought it to a relay pumping course at our county fire academy. I felt bad for those guys because there were a lot of problems with it that day. BTW, that is where I learned how to simulate about 500 feet of 3 inch hose between pumpers by using a length or two of inch and a half.
