Any boot and coat racks

Change over to tubeless 1100.20. I did all four on back of my 52 L85 and it was night and day difference. Truck rides so much better. I found all four rims and pretty new tires for $100 on Craigslist
-
I use truck almost weekly during season with shows, funerals parades, taking my kids for ride. Sadly she’s put away now till weather breaks
-
Got the old girl running again. Used a block diode rectifier in place of original. Charging at 14v and ran for 3 hours with lights and sirens for Christmas parade and she ran great. Thanks to everyone’s help helping me work thru the issues
-
Definitely added larger tank which is very common for rigs from my area when they go north or south. We are a complete hydrant district. I’ll get some info for you to answer some of your questions
-
I can find any info you want. I know the company wanted to buy it back but maybe the right people weren’t in contact with each other
-
I was in its original firehouse doing a standby for Tarrytown last weekend. All of their apparatus was always beautiful cared for rigs
-
The rectifier was bad but now changed out.
-
Replaced rectifier with diode rectifier Alternator was cleaned up and checks good, voltage regulator good, grounds good and ran a few new ones while I was up in there, still charging at 18 volts 🤦♂️
-
That’s what I was thinking. Old one is positive ground and mounted right to metal bracket on side of motor
-
Rectifier is gone. Also confirmed with Vineland electric in jersey. I had a feeling it was. Can’t thank you guys enough again. I take every you say into account and will use in future as well
-
Leaving original alternator is there anything that can go in rectifiers place. That things is way outdated and dangerous. I have seen a few rigs replace with what I was talking about a 3 phase block rectifier that seems to work. Even if temporally till I can save some money to make better upgrades

Mrmack my battery is few months old. Load tested perfect sealed battery
-
Written on my rectifier in marker says Bridgeport fire shops. 1984 replaced came off old engine 6. The old engine 6 was a late 40’s L model Mack
-
I definitely smelled rotten eggs when she started to die on me. Felt battery and it was warm but I don’t believe the smell was coming from that. Does the rectifier give off that kinda smell as well
