Someone posted a link on here to an ebay auction. Only one person placed a bid and did not meet the reserve. So I contacted the seller and made a deal.
After more research, I am thinking that it is a Van Pelt Truck.
I am puzzled about the bed. At first, I and the previous owner thought that the rear part of the fire truck body had been removed, and the truck had been converted into a flat bed. But after inspecting the bed, I can see that at one time the bed was two feet shorter, leaving a 2 foot space between the cab and the bed. Spmeone extended the bed to reach the cab. From underneath, it looks like a factory bed. Yesterday, U saw my friend Rusty's truck which alway looked wierd to me because his bed has a 2 foot gap between it and the cab. So maybe his truck was originally the same?
