I just recently acquired an 1953 GMC 630 Van Pelt Fire Engine Build #510663. She has the 503ci 6cyl with a Spicer 5-spd, 1000H pump and a 500 gal tank. Originally a Civil Defense Engine assigned to South Placer Fire Protection District.
Currently she does run, but has no brakes and has to be restored. I have found some info via the big nut forum and will continue my search for part #'s etc.
I look forwards to this rebuild :)
