Been awhile since I posted on here. The last time was when I rescued a '51 6100 from some Chinese scrap iron buyers. I ended up locating the family of the original owner of that truck and sold it back to them, so I never got a chance to mess with it. This time I'm posting to show off what I found this past weekend, a truck that I have always wanted. This one is a '50 4100 - cab and chassis. This truck originally belonged to the town of Dime Box, TX Volunteer Fire Dept. It was their brush fire truck. It had a tank on the back of it and a PTO-driven water pump back then. I'm not sure how long it has been since was owned by the city, I suspect it has changed hands many times since then. Nonetheless, it appears to have always been kept under a shed or something, because it is in amazing condition. Best I can tell it has been sitting since about 1986. The engine turns - I reckon it'll run. It's missing the water pump and t-stat housing. Story is that the pump went bad, they tore it down to fix it and it just never happened. Here's a few pics - I'm going to restore this one.
