If you have a look at these photos you will see that although all of these engines were built in 1980 on a Ford C-series chassis, each has a different body configuration.

I used to operate the Perrysburg truck. You got a good picture of it without the FORD on the front reading DORF. The PERRYSBURG on the ladder was sometimes covered with a TOLEDO EDISON magnet. How does the old saying go, "Idle minds are the devil's workshop?" It was just replaced last year with a Pierce Quantum 100' tower. For what it's worth, the newest ambulance and tower are red.

This and the rig in the previous post are interesting indeed...but very "over-chassised!"  Chief Alan Brunacini used a phrase that can be applied here:  "...like using a cement mixer to deliver a pizza!"

Man, you are good & you still got it.  It's always fun to run into a rig that we shot so long ago. 
That was one of the few times I ever got my car washed while we took rides in and photographed
apparatus.  We need to do hat trip again sometime.

John Denney Photo & Steve has one that looks just like it!

Sorry for the "Inside baseball" stuff, Steve.  Actually, it is West Virginia. 
And, no jokes about assume
