What brand is the service body and pump? How complete is the truck? Ask away and we'll do our best to help you out. Don't forget to email your story and pictures to Peggy (Stovebolt editor) so she can put you in the Gallery.

Details! We need Details!
How did you get the truck? Where did it serve? What are your plans - complete restoration, refurb, just a parade truck?
All Chevy fire trucks were sent to a factory as a "cab & Chassis", and had the fire company install the body. The Fire Engine companies in 1940 were pretty regional, save for the big three: Seagrave, Mack & American LaFrance. Scores of smaller companies installed bodies and pumps. Who did yours? If you don't know, we may be able to tease it out of photos.
Speaking of which - we LOVE pics!!! Post 5 or 6 good shots, and many questions, comments and suggestions are sure to follow!
Welcome!
