An LTI family photo after FDIC outside the RCA Dome in Indianapolis featuring a 102′ rear-mount platform for Cleveland, OH; an 85′ rear-mount platform for Indianapolis, IN; and the one and only 75′ rear-mount platform for the Central Stickney FPD. All three were built on Simon-Duplex chassis with completely different cab configurations.

I don’t recall but did it have a Detroit engine? I do recall being able to hear it coming down to a fire from a few blocks away.

DUPLEX was a very solid chassis supplier for many years but it’s hard to believe that it ceased to exist 25 years ago.
