Check out Virginiafiretruck's rig ... restore stock and then you'll have an excuse to get *another* cool old truck to do a diesel hotrod upgrade on to make a hauler rig for your beautiful original firetruck (on a trailer) to take to parades/shows/musters. In fact, I have the perfect hauler for you --- a '49 Big Bolt my wife wants me to sell ...

Does the '31 still pump?
As long as it's a pumper, it will be the hit of the show .... so far, the only person at a parade/show who thought *my* tanker was the coolest thing going was a drunk drug addict ...
