Red Knight15
Caught the Bug
Picked up me a new project this week. Needs a new engine and some brake work. I need to do some research on converting it to 12 volts and which engine conversion will be the easiest. Kinda leaning towards a Cummins.

Hell of a find and in pretty good shape too. I agree on keeping the FD theme.

I would leave as is. Looks sweet!

You can’t I don’t believe. You can leave the logo but can’t leave the names. Most fire departments will paint over their name or remove decals prior to sale because of liability reasons. You could make up a name I’m sure but not 100%.

IIRC, you can keep the light bar, but not use it on any roads. I’m not sure either about making up a department name. The only time I ever messed with a fire truck was when I was working on an old International that was used on El Toro. We are doing a complete restore and I had to redo all on the wiring. The project got shit down before it was finished though.

I’m gonna find out about leaving the department name on the truck, may have put not in service on it or something. I’m a 30 year member of the department and the Chief
. The paint is actually in pretty good shape it’s just nasty where it had been sitting in a barn since 2016. So I probably won’t paint it, just need to get it going back down the road.

Probably not. It’s too wide, it use to carry 800 gallons of water at one time. (Death Trap) lol. That’s why it has duals. They put a smaller tank on it but never took off the duals.

That may make it okay. I know when we sold our brush truck when I was in the department back home the guy who bought it had to remove the decal (painted on) prior to driving on the road. Could be different by state and the fact you are still in. The dude who bought ours was just a rando.I’m gonna find out about leaving the department name on the truck, may have put not in service on it or something.

The fact that you’re not only just a Fireman, but a Chief makes this build all the more awesome! Thanks for your service Chief!

Then I would still go with fire engine red but use Raider shields for the logos…

Thats one way to lower its value.
