Re: Emergency Vehicles!!!

Did a little wiring cleanup and polishing/buffing the paint out. Starting to look a lot nicer. Got to put some wax on it.

Re: Emergency Vehicles!!!
Didn't mess with the roof. Its going to need some paint I think. I might just wet sand the roof with 1000, CLR it and hit it with some wax for now.

Re: Emergency Vehicles!!!
Still looking for some sirens and lights. Anybody got any?
|
Re: Emergency Vehicles!!!
That freshened it up nicely. I saw you were looking for lights and siren. I have an antique truck meet to go to later in Sept. I'll ask the firetruck guys and look at the swap meet (very small one). There is at least one vintage fire apparatus club out there. If you joined one there would be no hope of you ever going back to a normal person :lol:

Re: Emergency Vehicles!!!
Thanks Special-K. No time for joining special clubs, too many fires to put out. :)

Re: Emergency Vehicles!!!
Our fire station has an old 67 gmc water tender they are selling. I believe its the 5,000 gallon version. Has a 401 v6 in it and runs awesome. I'll try to get some pictures next time I am at that station.

The main reason I suggested joining such a club is for a great resource for vintage fire apparatus |
Re: Emergency Vehicles!!!
Thanks again Special-K. Just got word from DMV i'm going to have to get a bonded title. Wonder what that's going to cost me. Might just drive it renegade style, no plates. Took it out yesterday for a spin into town and filled up the gas tank. Headlights on 6 volt system totally useless to an old man. My taillight, only 1, burned out new bulbs also during the trip. Just tiewrapped a flashlight to the backend so there'd be something there. Got it to about 47 mph. Yeehaw. Fun driving. Jim

Here's my old '64 Command Center for the City of North Vancouver Fire Dept. The idea was to customize it and turn it into a food vending truck with original exterior intact, but might have to sell it. Just a cool big van though.

Re: Emergency Vehicles!!!
No wonder I never saw one, they probably never made it to the US. There was a guy down the street from me who had two old bread vans when I was a kid. Can't remember the manufacturer, but they had Perkins diesels in them. We used to play around in them, and he made one into a camper.

Re: Emergency Vehicles!!!
That is super cool. This type of bodies tend to differ from region to region since they were generally built by a company withing that region. We had some different companies in this area. one was Boyertown Auto Body Works. Box vans are a cool segment of the automotive world
