These are substantially moe expensive to restore to OEM condition to any antique ladder truck. I wish I had the money and machine shop to restore one of these and save it from the scrap yard. Would make for a cool beach party truck or antique fire truck to show up at an old fire engine jamboree.
Companies do go over these after the original user is done with it and sell to a smaller dept. etc. Great trucks. my next door neighbor operated one at the St. Louis airport. I went out there a few times on Sunday mornings and rode around with him in the 1990's. He let me drive it once on the tarmac and squirt some water.

Can they pump and roll while driving or park and pump?
Yes. you can see vids on here of airport depts. practicing and they are driving and spraying around a practice fire.
I need one of these when Antifa comes to town.
