    Identify This Firetruck!

    Neat vid - the 20sec. and 1min marks show the cardox. Nothing to report on the restore/reuse etc. Purchased a carb adapter plate to put a 4bbl on it - nothing actually installed yet. Josh

    Identify This Firetruck!

    Do you guys think - since this air force fire truck was a SRW 6x6 by design - with 12.00 x 20 tires (has 11.00 x 20s on it now) - that the factory wheels would have been wider than a typical DRW deuce of that era?

    Identify This Firetruck!

    Specifically you guys earlier in the thread referenced a R6602 Continental engine, as did the nomenclature sheet... where this truck appears to have an IH engine of some sort.

    Identify This Firetruck!

    Hey guys... I'm the one with the odd looking air force fire truck. I finally dug up some more pics to post in hopes that you guys could tell me if this truck matches what the 0-6 nomenclature sheet DDoyle posted in the 1st page of this thread lists/shows. More pics here...
