It was one of only a handful of Mack/American LaFrance custom built ladders.

Thankyou Squad546, really most interesting on how 2 major fire apparatus manufactures from that period in time got together and produced such an unusual looking rig.This in itself seems very unusual.
This looks like a really good modelling project for the future, when I've time to fit it in.Pete.

The Mack CF was a very highly regarded chassis and formed the backbone of many fire departments' apparatus fleets, not least FDNY.
When I lived on Long Island, a few were still in front line service among our volunteer fire companies as late as 2005, and I think one or two may still be around on the reserve roster.
Many found their way eventually to various South American countries and can still be seen in videos of fire service parades (and in action) in several places...

Mack
I wonder when new at Barren Hills way back in the 70's, was it a Mack CF Series 100'rearmount, or an American La France 1000 Series 100'rearmount, or was it actually custom built?.
I'm sure one of our American fire buffs across the pond can answer this.
