Good looking truck, hope somebody saves it. I'm going to hazard a guess that either the cab or fire equipment was transplanted from another truck. This was a common practice with small rural fire dept.s who couldn't afford a new truck, and would explain the missing grill.
Hello misrilou. Actually, this was a purpose built fire truck. There is a metal plate inside the cab right above the windshield with information from the company that put the fire equipment on. I should have tried to capture that on video. Next time I'm in that area I will try to get a picture of that....Thanks for watching!
That's a pretty clear military job from WWII, a crash truck, I believe. They were made by several different fire apparatus companies, and there were variations with Chassis and equipment, but all fit a general standard.
