Frank,
This is the info I have on both of these Chester County rigs.
Bruce
Coatesville
1960 Ford C-800/Boyer, std. tilt-COE, 750/500. It cost $16,312 new. The original motor had 205 HP with a 5-speed manual transmission. It was repowered in 1975 with a 391 CI gas engine. It was sold in 1984.
Westwood
1961 Ford C-850/Midwest, full cab, 750/500. This was the first new piece of apparatus ordered by the company. It had a 534CI gas motor and a 5-speed manual transmission. It was housed on 5/20/61 at a cost of $17,000. It was sold to the Martins Corner Fire Company (Chester County) in 1986. They loaned it to West Bradford (Chester County) in 1989 when they went a pumper down due to an accident. Martins Corner sold it to a company in Ohio in 1990.

Sold to the Scotland, CT VFD in late 09' or early 10'. I work only about ten minutes from Scotland and have yet to see this truck but here is a picture from Scotlands website. http://svfd16.com/apparatus.php They did buy this after their former FDNY Mack CF scope sank into the pavement after hard rains on their way to a structure fire and it went nose first into a tree, totaling it. Fortunatley everybody escaped w/ minor injuries.
