I Retired 22 years ago, Fire Fighter, Fire Inspector, Arson Investigator. My stuff's probably too New, eh? I'm a Fire relic or is that classic? LOL

I showed a picture I took 20+ years ago and one member called it a historic picture. "Hey buddy,who you callin' old??" :lol:
I think that's great you're one of the guys who went with one of these trucks. That trumps it being a newer truck. Heck,they're all cool.

Thanks for the kind words "K"

Here's a muddy old photo (sneak another couple in) of my "B" shift crew, Check out our American La France Engine, had a Detroit Triple Nickle, was Fast, but wouldn't stop for a block.

Me and my Grandpa Levi, he was Chief of their Volunteer Dept. in Illinois.

Might have worked for Your "Brush Truck". That was a New Fire Engine to them back in 1956 LOL

Have a Great Christmas! - Lee

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! That thing is amazing! I never head of a K20 Panel. All panels I´ve ever seen were 2WD. So a 4WD panel is awesome, but a 3/4 ton one with manual.. that is even cooler than the K20 truck version! I bet they never made a lot of those!

Damn, now I want that truck! ;)

My 72 actually used to look like the 7th picture, the Egypt truck. Only real difference was my winch bumper used the factory 72 bumper with additions to it. It also had a full cage around it. If I can find a pic I will post it up. Mine was an active duty brush truck up until 3 years ago in Petersburg VA. The clutch and brake pedals are still bent apart to make it easier to drive in those big old boots! I had to cut the cage off it to repair sheet metal so I repainted her blue. Ironicaly the truck was originally blue with a white top. I guess she went full circle. I did save the original doors with the FD logos along with the light bar.
