RE: Military Fire Trucks
If you ever make it up the road to North Carolina, stop in. I have 3 military fire trucks, plus military fire extengusers, to include a Pre WWII flight line extenguser.
I spent 16 of my 20 years in Crash fire rescue in the Marines. I am trying to get one of my fire trucks up and restored now for our re-union this fall. Last re-union, I took my WWII Marine FFN crash truck, this year I am taking a M530C, if I can get it finnished in time.
One of the few, Frank

I know this is an old post but, I have a friend (actually the first link in this thread) who is asking about IHC M3L4 and M3H4 rigs? Before he gets registered on these forums, he asked me a question.. Maybe someone can answer:
I sent him pic's of these trucks in the Standard Catalog of U.S. Military Vehicles 1940-1965 on pages 73-74..any help would be appreciated..
"Can you give any info on the pumps in these rigs, make, type, output and drive? Have seen a picture of the 3/4 ton 4x4 IHC Navy/MC rig with the pump housing doors open. The picture suggests a multi piston piston pump."
Also, is there a list of SS folks who have Military fire trucks from WW2 somewhere..Or can we put the info here as a resource for people interested in these rigs w/ info and pic's?
Nice to have it in one place maybe..
Mike

Hi Mike,
I'll take a crack at this for you. The pump on mine is a John Bean Royal 55, and it's a 3 piston high pressure unit. It's rated at 60gpm max capacity, and 700psi max. These trucks were made to spray a high pressure fog at low volume.
Hope that helps.
