Norm Decou's1940 Chevy Fire Truck |
From Norm:
Hi. I've attached a couple photos of the 1940 Chev Fire Truck we recently purchased. Actually, we were purchasing a farm and I bought it from the previous owner. I'm guessing it was in use until the '80's and I hope to have it up and running once again.
Some info I have
gathered ... Model # 1673, Serial # 516 730 2130, Engine
M-4046207, Body Serial # 11215. The VIN may also be
0153204094. The truck was
manufactured in Canada, but I do not know at what facility.
The paint colour is 530 (commercial red) — the auto body
supply store was able to mix it directly from that number. It is a
Dupont code. Trim code
359.
I believe the engine has been updated to something from the '50's and if anyone can identify it from the picture, that would be great.
Great luck to have ended
up with this truck (my wife would call me blessed) -- nearly
given to me
and I can't wait to get started. I plan to do a rebuild
initially and then do a full restore later.
I do not
have a screen name for the forums. I should
probably do that soon as I will have many questions I am sure.
I wish I could tell you more about the Fire Truck but I have not had a chance to talk to the local historian yet.
Thank you very much for taking the time to work on these pages.
Regards,
Norm Decou
