'56 Firetrucks

Bear with me folks, as I try to submit these photos.[IMG]IMG_0720JPG[/IMG]

Johnny

P.S. Sorry 'bout that, I have them on Picasa, just do not know how to get them here. Help!!!

P.S.S. I just realized that I'm not allowed to post photos, but can I put the firetrucks in my gallery, which is, as of yet, not in existence?

Success! Finally got some photos on my gallery. There are a few of my '56 F-350 and four of the two '56 firetrucks I have mentioned.

Johnny,
Cool pics! Now since you have them in your gallery, you can hit the "forum codes" link below the pic and copy & paste the info into the thread so your pics show up. Here's one for you.



I saw one similar to this in Chihuahua Mexico a few years ago at the fire station. It was still in use. The newest truck they had was a Ford cab-over with the flat front nose. I think about a late 60's vintage!

Nice pics,
Kent

Kent,

Thanks for the advice. Right now, I'm crawling as far as posting photos goes, so what you mentioned will be my next class.

we never got the f350 in 56 ( that i know of ) looking at the side profile, the front gaurds look to be the same size as a f100 except ford actually centred the axle properly this time, is this true or is the pic deceiving?.

If "gaurds" are same as fenders, then yes, this is the stock stance of the truck.

Look at my gallery for a couple of shots of the '58-'60(?) B-600 school bus that I just acquired. Actually, it was given to me so that I could get the Mercury 312Y-block and transmission out, what's left is headed for the scrap metal recycler unless any of you can use it. The hood is pretty much rusted out, but the radiator support and grill could be used. Also, the fenders don't look too bad, but I'm not sure if they would work on an F-Series. The drive shaft (Three-piece) and rear end look okay, along with the wheels. Anyone interested, let me know soon...
