As a firefighter myself, I 100% agree with DaOzTinman on this one, I couldnt have said it better myself. A local fire Company started out with a chevy stovebolt firetruck and they recently had the chance to buy it back, and did. There is very detailed and important history to them about that truck (I wont explain the story, but lets just say it was delivered Omaha orange)and when they got there truck back after 40+ years (they didnt even know that it still existed) those boys were so happy they were crying. I think firetrucks should be left as is, especially small town ones that mean so much to the older folks and that truly are a one of a kind piece of history. I just cant stand why people take a piece of history and screw (different choice of words) it up, no matter what kind of car/truck/fire truck it might be.
