I’m new here on Stovebolt. I see a lot of fascinating articles, and can’t wait to take it all in.
I just bought a 54 3 ton fire pumper. 5000 miles on it! Beautiful condition, but I plan to take all the fire equipment off of it.
The differential ratio on this thing is 6.80 ! I drove it home, about sixty miles, and she really revs out at 45 miles an hour, as you can imagine. There are a few issues to deal with and I’m sure some I haven’t imagined yet, but I am excited to be building a dream housetruck on it! I’m looking forward to getting some direction on changing out the differential to a low number, hopefully 2 speed rear end. So, there it is, and I hope to hear from others if there is any advice. Thanks for reading my post !
