Description: Back in 1964 departments looking for new fire apparatus were faced with a choice of expensive custom chassis units or cheaper models based on commercial chassis. American LaFrance began to sell truck featuring the Pioneer cab. This was a hybrid between a commercial chassis rig and a custom model. The Pioneers ran from 1964 to 1978 in three different series: I, II, III. Internet research has shown that these trucks were built in almost every configuration that the 900 series and the later Century series were. These cabs offered seating with rear facing seats just like its cousin the 900 series and grandfather the legendary 700 series. The boys in design have been working hard to bring out several versions of this truck. This is a model on American LaFrance Pioneer Snorkel engine company. The first snorkel were developed in the Chicago are under Chief Quinn. They proved their work at an elevate railway incident when they were used to evacuate a train. This unit is built on a standard engine. This would give this unit the ability to get into and operate in tight places a ladder might not be able to get in. It will look great at a fire scene, firehouse, flat car load, or in a parade. I'll be adding more as time permits. Some flash removal is required, Some models will require basic assembly. Each listing is for one item unless otherwise specified. Pictures with painted trucks are N scale. Since most modelers like to buy more than one item, I'm glad to combine shipping. You should never pay more than $5.99 in total. With that said, you can request an invoice or contact me to make arrangements to adjust shipping.
