Well, I'm gonna go out on a limb and bet that that truck is a military issue Caysler - Is that, by chance, what the guages are labeled as? Here's why I think so:
Fire Trucks of WWII Vehicles of Victory - Fire Trucks Though I don't see any photos of Chevy/Caysler trucks, the pump mechanism sure looks the same as the fords. I'm no military truck expert, but I think they ALL came with a id plate on the dash. Any holes in a rectangular pattern in the center/right side of the dash?
As for figuring out what unit, etc., no idea. Maybe contact someone who owns a military engine.
Pretty neat. That's a cool paint job on it now. Be neat to trick it out with all the gear of a military fire engine. Unless, of course, I'm totally wrong . . .
