I think white would be best but would like to see what you all know about this issue. I've search but didn't find a color mentioned. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2771021750080243953JbkEds Near the white paper hanging key tag in the picture. Thanks. Bill

I'm believe i'm going to go with the white color. Anyone else seen it in color?

I'm looking in a 1951 manual, right this moment, on page 17. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,602 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,602 |

What a monster, 40000 CGVW! It had what I would call this 6 cylinder a super stovebolt 6. The transmission was the biggest thing I'd ever seen. The guy was going to scrap it so I took as much stuff off of it as I could. I needed some back fenders for my project but this AC stuff is a bit on the big side. You don't know anyone with a pair of rear fenders for a fire truck like the one on your web page do you? Narrow or dual width would be workable. [email protected]Lockland 41
