Good Morning All,

I recently purchased a 1941 Chevrolet Howard Cooper fire engine. The attached picture is just before I purchased it. It is now home, save in its garage and now the fun starts. It runs and drives well, haven't tried the pump yet. It is all original and I will be out her asking for help in the future.

What a cool truck!
Do you still have the '42 that's mentioned in your signature line?

Hi there,
I had to sell the 42, that was a ground up restoration and, after I injured my shoulder and has surgical repair, that heavy work was out of the question. This wonderful little engine showed up on Craigslist and that was that. Some little things to work on but ready to rolls right out of the box.
