The VIN starts with V4005, I'm assuming V for firetruck. The model listed on the title was V400. The panel at the driver's side kick plate shows the GVW at 23,000. It was in active service from early 65 to August last year, the week I picked it up. The glove box sticker lists the engine as a 305 (if I remember correctly 305C) and the front axle as F070. The truck my father had was 24,000 GVW, but had the narrow fenders and disk wheels. When I first saw this one on Ebay I thought it would be a heavier truck given the wheels and fenders. When the weather permits I'll clean the engine and check all the numbers I find on it. The picture of it as a flatbed was photo-shopped, I'm still looking for a bed.
