Thanks for all of the updates from people - greatly appreciated.
Here are a couple more:
LINGOHOCKEN They now have a 2007 Ford Expedition in service as Chief 35’s vehicle. The 2001 Ford Expedition that was Chief 35 is now Utility 95 at Station 95. The 1991 Chevrolet Suburban that was Utility (ex-Special Service) 95 was sold this past week to Tri-Hampton Rescue Squad for them to utilize as a duty officer's vehicle. Deputy 35 is operating a 2007 Ford F350 Supercab Super Duty with a short Utility Body on the back. This replaces a 1999 Ford Crown Vic that was purchased used from Doylestown Fire Co. All Lingohocken vehicles are now white/red or red. The 1991 Suburban and the 1999 Crown Vic were white. The current fleet of support vehicles are all red.
