LocomotiveBreath Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 I would try to buy it, or one like it if the right one came along. I wouldn't mind helping the unknown owner clean up his field at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind helping the unknown owner clean up his field at all.I am kinda partial to that old truck as well. It's located in Eastern Washington state. I have the owners name and number; he moved to Montana. Not sure if it is still there or if it's for sale, but if you are interested, PM me.Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firemack Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 That sure looks like an old E model Firetruck, that someone modified. The engine has dual ignition, so sure would appear to be an old firetruck.Firemack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffbyrne Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I really like the lines on this truck and wouldn't mind adding one to my collection.hi, dont know what year but that grill was used on fire apparatus, and it has dual ignition, so its a fire truck, and the plate says MOD.....75X, so its a mod 75, that is 750gpm, thats what i reckon , regards jeffro.

Greg Rider Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I would look for unusual holes in the roof or on the sides of the cowl. These would have been from lights. My A-30 had the holes for the roof light and spotlights. The cowl could have a light, siren, or both mounted. Also look underneath at the driveline. Does it look new? Like maybe they took out the gear box for the pump? Frame mods are not a good indicater unless you know what to look for. I love the little oil can on the firewall but not too crazy about that exhaust manifold. Quote #1 on A-model registryIf I drink because of work, why can't I drink at work?

505 MACK Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The pics of the engine are of a EN510 ,that was with Fire Truck back then. There should be a lever in front of the seat base toput the pump in gear,or at less the hole that it whould have been.Tinman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
