Here is Midlothian’s 1990 Pierce Dash midship aerial.  A remount of their 1967 Seagrave 70th Anniversary 1250/300.  Enjoy and comment.

Found this neat picture on the Midlothian FD facebook page.  A great picture of their department from the 1960’s.  I do think the Ford sitting there is an old Chicago Fire Patrol truck from the 50’s.  Please comment and enjoy.

Hello,
With Midlothian’s rescue truck up for sale, I submit the truck that was replaced by the 1997 Pierce.  It is a late 1960s IHC/Pierce.  If I am wrong, please feel free to share information about it.  Enjoy!

Hello again,
Nowadays, everything on four wheels is Pierce.  When I started collecting pictures, everything was Seagrave.  The following pictures are:
1) a 1947
2) a 1957
3) a 1952
4) a 1973 (rehabbed in the late 1990s)
I’m sorry that I don’t know the specifics concerning these trucks.  I hope you enjoy,
Mike S.
