Truck weight
 
Hit the scales at the local dump a while back. 10,600 lbs. Good to know if I ever have to have it towed.

Your Fire Engine has turned out so nice Jim. Thank you for honoring your buddy and Brother Firefighter. Drive it with Pride! If you ever drive it through Lincoln, Nebraska stop in at Station #3 for a cup of coffee! :-drink

Jim,
I spent the afternoon reading the entire thread! Awesome documentation! Great job on your fire truck! Our local fire dept where I grew up, had and still has, white fire trucks
The paint you did looks just as good as your painter guy! you can be very proud. I like how you made it into a family ride with the seats in the back.
Thanks for your positive comments and help as a newbee here!
Regards,
Chris

Thanks Chris. The guys on this forum were so helpful and supportive.

Hi Gang. It has been awhile. Some interesting news. we are relocating and there will not be room for my truck. I will post in the marketplace section of the forum. I will still be on the forum and maybe in the new place I will do another smaller project that actually fits in a standard garage. You guys are the best.

Sorry to hear Jim! Hopefully it's a move you have chosen for the betterment. You have done such a nice job on your Fire Engine and some lucky person is going to get a beautiful truck. It definitely deserves a good home. Hint Hint :-drink
