convoyduel Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I just bought this '78 CF685 100' Thibault mid mount Aerial out of mid PA. Can anyone by chance tell me the history of this particular truck? Thanks in advance.Dan Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/15428-78-cf685-100ft-thibault-aerial/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

convoyduel Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm gettin' close to starting my own department. I'm just kind of stunned at how cheap these are. A small fire department by our farm bought the 70/88 CF that was listed on here. I can't buy a used engine for these prices.

1958 F.W.D. Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I am positive that is DuBois, Pa's old piece. If it is, let me know, I have a good friend who is a member of one of the DuBois companies.The City of DuBois has an entirely volunteer fire department, split up into (I think) four or five stations. I cannot remember which company had the ladder truck, but I can certainly find out and probably get some information for you.DuBois was an all-Mack city for a very long time.

Yes, it appears to be DuBois' ladder. I'm curious to know the history of it, especially the mechanical history. I'm not 100% sure I know the correct story on it. Anything you can provide would be helpful.

1958 F.W.D. Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I sent a message to a close friend of mine who is a member of J.E. Dubois Hose Company #3, I asked if he knew anyone over at the ladder company and if he could poke around for some info. Will let you know.
