If it is truly a 500 GPM pumper, then it most likely is a Type 40 Triple Combination. It has what appears to be a 40 gallon soda-acid booster system, making it a 500/40. ALF also built 600 GPM Triples on the four-cylinder chassis, but they were Type 10's.

Actually its a 1000 Series cab. It has the aluminum band on the lower front of the cab plus the ALF maltese cross nameplate under the jump seat window. The 900 Series just had American LaFrance lettering nameplate under the window.
