Conestoga Custom Products

Conestoga Custom Products Inc., or just Conestoga, was an American fire apparatus manufacturer located in Leola, PA (later Ephrata, PA). They operated from 1978 until approximately the mid-1980s. 
== History ==
Conestoga was founded by LTI's founder Mahlon Zimmerman in 1978, a few years after LTI was in 1974. Their facility was initially located a few miles away from Ephrata, in Leola, until they moved to LTI's newly-built factory in 1980. They mostly built pumpers & tankers for the first couple years, until they morphed into being an in-house builder for LTI's ladder trucks. They also ended up making a few trucks badged for Mack and FMC, as well. It appears that the company was still building some trucks under the Conestoga name in the mid-1980s, but presumably stopped shortly afterwards.
