I saw this on the America LeFrance factory photos site on Facebook.
This was among several colorized factory photos and was surprised to see the T’s. Did they build T ‘s for their uses too? I thought the coloring was really good. Expand the photo and the detail is really clear.
Check out what looks to be the beginning of a chiefs car in the back. Or was it for another use.

The one in the rear is a small chemical truck. You can see the tank installed on the rear.

The one in the rear is a small chemical truck. Just like the one pictured on William Killen's book.

Have a good look but it seems like the car in the back corner has the same body fitted as the one in primer on the wheeled stand that's probably ready for one of the chassis in the front

My guess would be that A.L. would buy bare chassis from Ford and of course adapt them to their specific needs and orders from the various fire departments.
