Popular Post j hancock Posted January 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2020 Saw this rig today. I think it may be a WWII Chevrolet G 506 crash truck. Wasn't able to confirm for sure. Later served the Peru Fire Department in Vermont. 3 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyT Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Looks like an old army truck conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogboy Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Until recently, the Jaffrey, NH Fire Department operated a 1942 U.S. Army Class 325 Chevrolet 4X4 as a brush truck. The Class 325 was similar to the Class 110 but the 325 had a front mount pump. During WW II military fire apparatus was built by many different manufacturers on different chassis so it wasn't unusual to see Mack bodies on Chevy or Brockway chassis. Everyone pitched in to do what was needed to win the war. Edited January 21, 2020 by bulldogboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
