WOW! How long has that been sitting there? It can be beautiful if someone has a lot of time and money.

What a shame, just rotting away. Interesting mounting of the Grote beacon on the front and I guess the TwinSonic's motor or chain failed and it was given Force 4 internal parts.

what a waste of a nice truck,with the proper care and money that would of made a great display/parade truck

What's with the laundry sitting on the front seat?

 

[ohi007]

wow if only i had the time and extra money to do something with that.

 

[GranPrix]

I believe they are going to restore it.

 

[Lightbarnut]

That thing long since went on it's last call.

 

[medicandy]

I believe they are going to restore it.

I hope so, that would be a shame to just leave it like that.

Alright I'm stealing it who has a towtruck and wants to help?

It looks like this truck was originally equipped with a Federal electronic siren - either a PA15A or PA20A. The mounting bracket for the siren is on the dashboard and just to right of the steering wheel. ALF Pioneer trucks with electronic sirens are rare. Most of the Pioneers I've seen have &@#%$! mechanical Q sirens on them. Whoever restores this truck should put an electronic siren back in it.

That is a beautiful truck. Its a shame that it is in the kind of condition it is in right now.


Also, side note, how left their laundry in there?
