Does anyone know where I can get pictures of this when it was in the accident?

Just a few years ago they had been talking about reusing the chassis and converting the rig into a new 522 (lumber carrier) Collapse rig. The current 522 is using a former 90’s vintage Seagrave truck chassis and body. I don’t know why they decided otherwise.

They should remove as much as they can I.E. Axles, wheels, outriggers, eaven the locker doors, controls, drive train, lights and eaven the panels.

Austin, that’s an 82′ Hendrickson ladder truck. They sold one a week or so ago. This is another.

I like the “running condition unknown” when it next says engine and trans removed. LOL

In the last photo you can see part of another ladder truck next to T34, is that an ALF? I can’t quite tell.

@9 man Squad, I thought the same thing, but I’m pretty sure they took the doors off 34 to put on the other apparatus if they had a damaged door.

Ps why is there a 57 on one door and a 54 on the other

Look like they couldn’t get anymore parts off it
