Drove it into the garage 1999 with fresh oil and a full tank of gas. Has been keeping the structure from blowing away ever since.
Cab has some rust. The worst spots are the cowling and rear cab corners. The pick-up box is rough, part of it was cut away for fire pump plumbing, the rest is in dire need of a good metal worker. Rear fenders are shot.
It was originally set up as a brush truck by a fire department in PA. It was sold at auction to a local who drove it till 1992 and sold it due to a nasty divorce to a mechanic in Cuba, NY. The mechanic sold it to guy in Scottsville, NY. It was used as a beast of a winter commuter for a few years. Then it was sold to me and has been garaged for 17 years in East Rochester, NY. I bought it in April 1999, and stored it in August 1999 when I enlisted in the Navy. I recently inherited a very sentimental project and don’t have the room or finances to support two projects
