Who said fire trucks had to be red?

[stansdds]

1350 is proof positive that fire trucks are supposed to be red.


Nice looking trucks. :thumbsup:

Thanks! :thumbsup: I love that truck! We're in the process of trying to fix it up and get a new Q. You can see part of it in the pictures. That thing is all jacked up! Winds up good though.

Plate reads 1350. Windshield reads 1351. ?

The original 1350 was another truck, and then we got this back in the 90's and was deemed 1351, and since the original truck was sold, we put this one as 1350 and apparently no one has taken the decals off. :duh: :nono:

It's also proof positive that mechanical sirens belong on old fire engines, not new ones. That Q siren looks right at home on that 1950s era pumper.

We've gotta get it fixed. The "grille" on it is tore completely off almost and the outside is peeling off. It does'nt look to bad from that angle but if you saw it in real life it looks like crap!

Pumpkins anyone? er uhm fire trucks I mean. :hopeless:

I'd love to see more photos of this truck, and learn more details about it. Also, please let me know if it ever comes up for sale.

Truck unfortunatley is already spoken for after replacement. I will be starting a thread on my new Dept as soon as I get more photos.


1982? Chevy Scottsdale 3500 1 ton, 4 speed manual, 4x4, 454ci motor.


It is a Code3 bar, What model I dont remember. It has the 4 sealed beams per side with the inner rotator at 90 degrees. Whelen siren, simple switch box, Harris 800mhz radio, Icom VHF radio, and a 250GPM pump connected to an OLD Wisconsin 2 cylinder gas motor. 200 gallon tank or so.

 

[shues]

That truck is probably older than you think. Those round headlights were only used from 1973 through 1979.

My fire company the new pumper should be in this monday

That's a sweet looking WW II era Ford U.S. Army fire truck. I think the Federal 15E beacon looks out of place on such an old apparatus, but otherwise that is a nice restoration. :thumbsup:

I checked the door sticker. Says 1980.

You're right. I did some more research. I've learned that starting in 1980, rectangular headlights could be had by ordering RPO V22.








In 1981, additional headlight configurations became available, including the four-lamp over/under system as depicted here:





Yours is a very cool truck. Thanks for sharing!

 

[dmathieu]

That truck is a hell of a lot older than you guys are thinking. I'm guessing late 40s-early 50s?
