Firetruck


I think this is a 1941 Diamond T firetruck. Unfortunately it no longer has an easy life in a heated firehouse. Now it is parked in the weeds which is too bad as the original paint and chrome are nearly perfect but won't be for long.

    He needs someone to take him home. I confess I'd like to stick modern running gear-- motor, tranny, etc, and make him the sexiest truck in town.

    Maybe they should hold raffle and raise some money for the firestation. Someone would win a very nice vintage fire engine.

    Hopefully somebody saves it from decay. Very nice piece of history.

    Oh that's such a shame, perhaps someone will fall in love and take care of it again 💜
