Hello! My father and I began restoring this rig in 2003. We have been near completion since about 2007. The rig was lettered by Revere Firefighter Frank Barry, and painted by my father in our back yard! Unfortunately, on December 6, 2008, it struck a deer while returning from a fundraiser. WE NEED YOUR HELP. I'd like to get this rig back to its restored state! ANY AND ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED! I have attached the pictures...but we need:
DANG.....Hartford's ALFs were always sweet rigs.....i'm jealous that you have her but i wish you good luck and much seccess getting her back to her former glory

Also, can anyone out there recommend any body shops in the area that may take this on? I still need to find the nose, but if I do, I'd like to have it done somewhere local. Anything within 50 miles of Derry, NH (03038) would be great if you have any ideas! Thanks
Phil, I am really sorry to hear about your pump, I always liked that piece. If I see any ALFs in junkyards I will let you know. I know a couple of the old Lynn ALFs were floating around.

With the warm weather this weekend, I came home and stripped the nose of the truck as best as I could. Gave us a little better idea of what needs to be fixed. Take a look...

If there isn't any damage behind the sheet metal or anything out of line, a good body shop should be able to pull the outer body skin out and try to straighten at best. You have room to work behind the outer sheetmetal. After getting the sheetmetal as smooth as possible, then they can work some body fill. Mask off the front and prime and paint. Good luck, Joel Bain BAIN172@aol.com
It seems like the most difficult thing to locate is the small piece of moulding on the lower left portion of the nose, above the diamomd plate style strip. Any suggestions?

Phil, that looks like standard trim. A body shop should be able to get this for you.
