re: this photo, I emailed Jim ( first web site link in this thread ) and he came back with the following info on the truck photo submitted on another thread by DDoyle:

This is a CLASS 335 6x6. See my website for particulars
( http://www.maui.net/~r11/firetruck-id/index.html ). How do I
know it is a 335? The HVIN starts with a 4 which tells me truck was at its birth
a 2-1/2 6x6 cargo truck without winch. The cargo bed was removed and
replaced with a fire truck body. While this truck looks like the CLASS 530 it
is different in the HVIN (335 - 4, 530 - 5) different pump output (335 -
300GPM, 530 - 500GPM) different in wheels and tires (335 - 10 7.50x20,
530 - 6 11.00 x 1.

50 of the conversion body for the 335 were ordered in March 1945. How
many, if any, more were ordered is not known to me..

Thanks Jim..

Note: This guy is very knowledgeable and has many contacts if anyone needs any answers on WW2 engines or right around that period..
