I like the custom metal work, it looks a lot more exotic than just a plain cab and utility type body.

So the firetruck only goes 25 MPH max? Wont be much left of the house by the time that truck gets there!

Think that's a shift point suggestion?

Probably a tanker/pumper carrying a lot of water and these are the shift points

That is the standard speedometer for '48-'50 trucks equipped with the 4-speed transmission. Those are the shift points.

And it probably has the 4 speed crash box. So there's the whole top end to add, taking up to maybe 45 mph?
Yes, the house would burn, but then a cool truck would finally show up.
