Michael m, I would say behind the first set of full-length compartment doors in the body, about where you would fond a midship mount pump. It looks similar to an engine Park Forest had in the 70’s.

Just wondering where is the Pump on the Wood Dale Engine?

Cool Brochure. The squared off custom cab is so iconic. The rounder taller custom cab looks a lot like the Hahns and Sutphens of that time.

PIRSCH was once a great apparatus builder. That cab forward was quite an attractive model.

The second brochure, the white rig in the middle looks like one of Wood Dale’s apparatus
