I found two look-alikes that are identified as American La France. These aren't definitive. If anyone else finds better information please correct this. I've removed the Osh Kosh tag and added an American La France and Marmon Herrington tag. These suggest the vehicle may be a late 1940s or early 1950s model. I think the pickup is a 1960s model.

It's an American La France O-10, O11 A or O-11B. As used by the USAF as a Airfield Crash Tender. Built between 1951 and 1959. And in use until 1970s.

Thank you, Dirk de Vor!

I have finally got the definite answer. The Fire Crash Tender is an A.L.F. Type: O11-A. (The O-11B had a split dual cab door as seen in the second photo from 'Precious Amount' in the comment above).

i believe this is a 1969 vehicle, not 1954.

They moved away from this blue and white to all white to make them more visible on the street. Pretty dangerous when they are delivering like this and still in the roadway.

The car in the background is certainly not from 1954.

ddey65 You are right about that. It has to be sixties or later. The snow on it does hinder identifying the model.

Thanks. Now let's tell the Smithsonian Institution that.

A much improved cabover was the Internatioonal CO [Cab Over] series, with its cab-forward design and excellent visibility. It was introduced around 1954-55, and would be one of the most popular International trucks of all time, until production ceased in the early 1970s. This tilt-cab was designed by Diamond T and has been used on their own trucks, as well as Reo/Diamond Reo and Hendrickson trucks. This is a pre-1959 truck. In 1959 this model went to quad headlights.
