  Possibly Glencoe?

  Actually the beacon was in front of the light bar. The 1973 ALF was left to rot by an old public works garage, where the 1947 and 1953 Chevys were. Drove by the station today and the 1984 Hendrickson 1500/1250 that was rotting away in the back was gone.

  Dave, I believe you are correct. The 1963 ALF was up for sale this past summer and this may well be it but that one had a becon light on the roof behind the bar light. This one appears to not have that(not to say someone didnt take it off). I believe the 1973 ALF that Dixmoor had was scrapped right from the department.

  Almost looks like Dixmoor 223/2423. 1963, 1000/500.
