American LaFrance Chemical Unit. Body striping, hood lettering, lack of rear-mounted lanterns, and tank numbering indicate probability that it's Philadelphia, PA. Likely newer than 1919 since it has flat rear fenders - maybe 1923-1927. Great pic!
Truck at left is GMC.

What an awesome photograph!!!

I'm guessing the gear he's measuring is one of the cam-gears. Think there's one on either side of the crank - one side exhaust, other side intake. Huge truck - look at the size of that bell!!!
If you're stovebolt ever seems overwhelming, just think if you were working on this bad boy.


Please type slow, as I can't read very fast.

Check out this American LaFrance.

Its just east of Columbia and the wife and I will be stopping by there Saturday to check out the auction.
If you or anyone in your club would be interested, PM me their number and I'll call them when I am standing next to it. Probably have a camera with me also and can post some more detailed pics.

Here's a pic of my bad boy.
