Thanks! Some "modeller's licence" employed here, I am using pump from AMT's kit, I don't think Thibault ever installed an ALF pump in one of their trucks however it is plausible pump was a 2 stage one similar to kit part, based on photo caption stating 1,000 GPM pump capacity: 2 stage pump is about the only way a little gas engine could pump that much water! Kit pump mounts modified slightly to suit L700 frame, also fuel tank relocated to rear of frame (more "modeller's licence") due to clearance issues with body compartments:  |

There is progress from previous photo - honest! Engine completed, rolling chassis ready for paint. Styrene pieces used to represent steering box & basic linkage as kit doesn't come with one.  |

Slowly working away at the pump body and fitting cab doors, minor alterations with sheet styrene to replicate compartments on driver side above rear wheels:  |
