  Brad, possibly try Erickson Trucks N Parts. They have locations in Minnesota and Wisconsin and they buy disposed vehicles from Chicago.

  I was wondering if you might be able to tell me where these fire trucks are located? I am in desperate need of one of them for a restoration I am doing. Can you please inform me where so I may get a hold of the company to see if they still have them. Thank you kindly.

  LOL! That’s right crabby! It sure does look like the current MCU. I’m willing to bet the old Seagrave was truck 51.It was the replacement rig after the Pierce was in the fatal accident in 07. Shame that’s where it wound up.

  Always a bit sad to see dead SEAGRAVE and AMERICAN LaFRANCE rigs but obviously they were beyond reasonable repair and/or saving for show.(Two rival builders together. 🙂 ) Just think of the stories they could tell if they could talk. The mass casualty rig looks like one now.
