Bingo! The entire vehicle was painted. As you said, mirrors, handles, portions of the windows, etc. Had a '65 Chevy painted in Jamaica as well and I mean painted.

"Dig we must for a growing New York" is what I think it was??

I recall that being done to a 1960 Ward LaFrance pumper with success and sore arms and backs. lol

I'd go with 320/167

The second one is 624. 6th Avenue (Avenue Of The Americas) and West 24 Street.

I'm surprised that no one here observed the box number and location of the job. I believe that is one of only two coincidental locations in Manhattan.

"K" was used to signify the end of a radio transmission. In NYC it was used by both FD and PD.

I'm surprised that they didn't get Clark Kent to call Superman. Some of those posts are mind boggling.

One of the nicest people that you could ever meet. Rest In Peace Maria.

I have known Chief P. since he was a brand spanking new FDNY EMT and watched his exemplary rise through the ranks of the Department. He was ALWAYS a conscientious and meticulous individual in all of his assignments from start to his present rank. I'd work and be guided by him anytime!

Tony was a FF in L130
