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.
That’s what I was wonderingTo cool you going to keep it a dually ?
Very cool…if possible, I would repaint it fire engine red and keep the FD logo on the doors…that would be awesome
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%.That’s awesome!! I have always wanted one myself.
i agree with Brute, keep the FD motif. Also think the Cummins would be a great choice.
Please post up lots of pics of this project.

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.You can’t I don’t believe. You can leave the logo but can’t leave the names.

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’s what I was wondering
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.

So I probably won’t paint it, just need to get it going back down the road.
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!That may make it okay.

Then I would still go with fire engine red but use Raider shields for the logos…You can’t I don’t believe. You can leave the logo but can’t leave the names.

Thats one way to lower its value.Then I would still go with fire engine red but use Raider shields for the logos…
