[quote name='matchot' post='283290' date='Feb 20 2009, 12:59 ']Well I found a few more relic pics in my archives so here we go. First is this old Seagrave Ladder Truck which I found in my travels a couple of years ago while on the road for my work. This truck I think may have been posted earlier in this thread. I found it sitting alongside the road just north of Kittery Point, Maine.[/quote]



Isn't this the old Revere, Ma. ladder? If it is, it's back in Revere.

[matchot]

Next up is this Ford/???? Engine which i found sitting by the side of the road in Binghamton,NY on US Route 11. It looks like it has gotten a second life advertising a Restaraunt-Bar in the area. Anybody know anything about this one???

[matchot]

And last up is this Ford C/??? that formerly served the Lodi,NY FD. At the time of this picture in 2005, this rig was sitting on the grounds of their fireman's field and was for sale. Hope you all enjoyed these pics, more to come as I find them.

Johnsonville is in Renssellaer County, and is marked with an "A" on the attached map. This is Ex-New Hyde Park NY & Ex- Copake NY.

Benji, the only Brevard County I know of is on the Space Coast of Florida. Looks like it might have belonged to a city department before becoming part of the County.

I have had a copy of the first pic (the right front corner shot) for several years - got it here or somewhere similar, I think. Caught my eye because it is eerily like the truck my VFD custom-built in the 1990s, from an ex-City of Calgary garbage truck cab & chassis and Imperial Oil (Esso) home oil tanker. Ours is a 1986 Ford C8000, but that means nothing of course due to the C-series' long history...

Here is a rainy shot...

Former Dedham MA Engine 5 started life out as Engine 3 I think

This was originally Woodbridge, Virginia's (O.W.L. - Prince William County) 1969 Pirsch 1000/500 with serial number 2907. It was sold/donated to Natural Bridge, Virginia after serving at OWL.



Here is it running at OWL. This has always been one of my favorites.

I have been searching everywhere for pic of her. It broke my heart when we found out it was rotting away in a junkyard. The least they could have done is let us know they were getting rid of her. That thing was a scream to drive!

Finally found this gem On Hwy 25 S. Here in Greenville. 1963 Seagrave Parked in a car lot. Salesman told me it was on loan from a lot in Atlanta and not for sale. Not sure where it is from Exactly. It has Nashville on a small plaque on the side, it was very hard to read. Inside the cab I found an Insurance stub that had Wilkes-Berry, Pa on it.

All I can tell you is that based on the three vertical bars on the grille is that it was manufactured after 1972.

I just want through this whole thread! Very interesting stuff! I was wondering has anyone ever bought and rescued any of these old rigs that were poictured here?

[Guest]

If I might vent for a minute. How can anyone take a vehicle such as this, and let it die in such a manner? I am truly sickened that this would be allowed to happen. I applaud the gentleman that found her for trying to contact us, but the wrong dumbass answered the phone. Long story short, don't take anything for granted, and never look a gift horse in the mouth. You know who you are.
