Hey....Lookit that....An FWD Firetruck.....Here on BMT......Who'da thunk THAT?

Welcome Pointychops......I own 1958 #F80438 with the F554G (140GZ) Thunder Pumpkin. 750/500. I have a 5-speed overdrive Clark transmission, a rarity in FWD Firetruck chassis.

Wow, your truck is beautiful! I'll look for your facebook group. My truck was a Royal Canadian Air Force Crash truck from B.C., it had a seperate high pressure pump (foam I'm guessing) as well as its 800gpm big guy. After the RCAF it was bought by a volunteer dept. here in Idaho who removed the high pressure pump, but everything else seems intact and works well. Pretty sure my truck has a Clark, but not so sure its an overdrive, its happy at 55mph. Nice to find someone so knowledgable on these trucks. Thanks
