1967 Ward LaFrance P75-1000GM-5

1000/500

Spec #75-07

 

The P75 Series combined the Ultravision cab and WLF body with a General Motors drivetrain and chassis, thereby reducing the cost.  This one was later refurbed with a Mack diesel engine and front axle and, at last report, was sitting in the Keystone Fire Apparatus junkyard.  Only a handful of P75's were built.
dave it was on a mack chassis, i don't remember where my pik of it is at keystone but for sure was a mack front axle  on it

Tom - Look at the photo that was posted in this thread, it has Budd wheels on the front.  It was built that way on a GM chassis with a GM gas motor.  Later, it was repowered with a Mack diesel and needed a stronger front axle to carry the extra weight, so a Mack axle was used.  I've seen pics of it taken after the repower.

I'd have to agree and also extend my thanks to both photographer and poster.  That Squrt is still in service, recently refurbed and remounted by Ferrara.

The Squrt was one of the Snorkel Co.Demo Squrts when they first came out with them. Was the 12th. one built. Has been rebuilt and mounted on a Ferrara Intruder Engine..This is the only Squrt built by Ferrara.

Cancel your appointment with the eye doctor, those are snow chains.  Can't explain why they are on there.....

Because here in western PA the forecasts are hardly correct.  After a snow storm and after the public works crews clear the streets, it may be days before the alleys are clear.  Better to have the chains on rather than need them and they were dropped.  Many departments will leave theirs on for  quite a few days just to be sure.
