I collect Fire trucks, and Military trucks that have been used for fire protection. three of my trucks are military, a 1943 CCKW, a 1952 M211 (according to the dash plate) and a 1952 GMC conventional 2wd fuel tanker. All three trucks were purchased off Ebay. The '43 CCKW was most likely built into a fire truck at the Davis Facility by the California Department of Forestry after the truck was surplussed. The '52 M211 came to Oregon on a Civil Defense contract and is believed to have come from Barstow, California. The 52 tanker barely visible behind the CCKW was purchased from the military by the City of San Francisco. It carried diesel fuel only, and went from station to station, topping the tanks for the diesel engines.
