jonny loot Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 yes been touch with this guy it was him and his site that i got i load of info off , very helpfull , i`m still learning a lot as i`ve never been into fire trucks before .......everything`s new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towbarlover Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Have you already discovered the hood-number? All US Army Fire Trucks hood-numbers start with 50 and then followed by 4 more digits. Jim Davis (through me) could provide all further (DoD) info on this truck. It is a lovely beast............. 3 Years ago a same type of firetruck was imported into Holland, being a GMC though........ Any plans to restore to original O.D. painting?

jonny loot Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 thanks for the interest Towbarlover , it still has the hood number on and i know quite a lot of the history , been on the same base from it`s delivery date july 1943, there are two trucks in the states of the same make and type with very close numbers i plan to leave it in the original paint for the time been ,it would be a shame to paint such an original vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
