Quote:Finally for tonight, Engine 2-4 from the Shoshone County FD/Idaho was another 1977 ALF Pioneer III, 1000 gpm-pump and 750 gwt. ALF # S-5706
While this rig has the same appearance that a Pioneer III would have, I believe the registration number, S-5706, would indicate that this rig is a Spartan model. The Spartan model was introduced in 1976 as a low-cost alternative to the custom chassis, but with custom features. It was based on a GM chassis, not an ALF chassis. The similarities between the two models would make identification nearly impossible, except for the registration number.
Food for thought, from your friendly apparatus geek! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
