TONS OF NEW PICS ADDED + VIDEOS

Hello one and all. First post here. Just wanted to know this website rocks for all the information it has. You all seem very knowledgeable. Here is my situation:

Our fire department has been donated a 1968 5 ton kaiser. It was previously owned by the Pennsylvania Dept. Of Forestry. They donated it to us after we expressed some interest in obtaining one. I really don't know much about these trucks, except they are built pretty **** well.

When we first got it, it had a 3,000 gallon water tank mounted to the frame. We have since removed that, and attatched a regular "stake body" bed. We also stripped it down, and repainted the chassis and cab, and got new wheels and tires. We also got a winch, wheich we are still trying to work on getting hooked up.

Here are some pics:



I'd love to hear from the experts. Our biggest project right now is completely re-wiring this thing. The only thing that works electronically are the headlights.[/b]

We just got a 1,000 gallon water tank, and a 500 GPM pump. I'll have to take some newer pics.
