Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 14 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 14 | I would like to share some pictures of my truck. I have decided to keep this truck as it was built, a fire truck. At first I was upset with the modifications not being done in a neat manner . So I began to remove the pump and the associated equipment, I am in the process of putting it back together and I am going to try to do a better job. I was able to locate an instruction and installation manual for the Barton front pump. Here are some of the specs on the truck 1950 chevy 6400 10,500 original miles 235 low pressure 6 cyl 4 spd with 2spd rear barton American 500 gpm front mount pump the link for photos is http://s546.photobucket.com/albums/hh418/JoeB-69/?action=view¤t=196021-R1-19-20A3.jpgJoe B. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 238 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 238 | Joe
Nice looking truck ! It's interesting how they could take the '50 Chevy truck and make so many differant looking fire trucks out of them . Mine is so close to yours in the front yet differant - the same pump but front bumper is not out as far and in the tank/rear end nothing like mine . That's what I like about the commercial truck bodied fire trucks they could be built to look / function as needed - not many looking the same. Keep us posted on your work .

I don't suppose you would like to 'donate' her to the Scottish branch of the S.V.F.D ? (I'll pay the shipping!)  Jock.

Very nice!! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 14 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 14 | Guys thanks for the positive feedback. I will be getting my manual for the barton pump this week. It is a copy of the original instalation and maintenance manual. Maybe it will give me a better understanding about how the whole pump system works.
