My other toy is a Fire Truck

[pensmyth]

When I'm not turning or making a huge pile of saw dust playing in the shop I like to play with my fire trucks. I just got this 1935 Ford/Howe and after some TLC we got her running and decided to go for a trial run......

Wow that is really cool. How much work did you have to do to get it running again?

Not to much. New plugs, rebuilt starter, new fuel pump and update some of the old wiring. She only has 532 miles on the odometer!

That is awesome---boy that is some spotlight, huh? Could you get a new bulb for that? Does the pump still work?

Good job!!

Wow only 532 miles! I guess there weren't too many fires in that area. Did you do any body work to it?

That isn't what you would expect to pull out of the garage. Nice truck.

It came from Waveland, Indiana they traded a Model T in for it back in 1935. Everything still works on it although some of the lights need new wiring. I haven't done any body work to her, I kinda like her the way she is. Parts are surprisingly easy to get. There are several companies around that sell old Ford replacement parts and even the local NAPA carries some too!
