Could be fun. Wonder what kind of engine it has. If you do buy it and get into the old truck thing there is a website for the American Truck Historical Society that you may want to visit for restoration details.

You can also learn more about antique fire trucks at www.spaamfaa.org.

That's the Society for the Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Fire Apparatus in America. They welcome Canadian members, too.
