Sweep, I'm down east of Mankato.
Hi Rich, love your truck. You could bring it to a meeting of the Minnesota Fire Engine Club (
https://www.sites.google.com/site/mnfeclub/home) some time. We will be in Northfield Saturday of Memorial Weekend with an all afternoon into the dark pumping display. We only have a couple of trucks older than mine but you might have a good time.
I'll bet it has deep gears too and you don't drive it far very often, the Northfield raid will be the farthest I will travel this summer with the truck.
Hope to see you sometime, keep that '47 polished! (I hope you have kept the side boards!)
