Slowly getting back to the truck, and "what do you think??"
Hi all!
It's been a long and cold winter. Finally, the weather is starting to change a bit, and it won't be long before I can get back into the shop.
Seems like years since I've been on the forums. Last year I heated the shop with kerosene, but there's a LOT of condensation doing that, and everything gets soaked, especially my tools. So, I decided that until I had my radiant heat up and working, I wouldn't work in the shop. Needless to say, I didn't get in there at all this winter! But, it's starting to warm up nicely, and it won't be long...
Nice thing about not working on it, I can start with a brand new perspective. Plus, I have been looking and pondering at pictures a lot, trying to decide an end result for my F2. I found this picture, and I like it. The more I look at it, the MORE I like it!! I'm thinking about trying to get the stuff together, to make it into a fire truck. Can you say "parade!"??
Let me know what you think:

Hey Roger,
I recognized the picture of the truck as soon as you posted it. The truck was in service here locally. It belonged to the Santa Clara County FD (same county of my residence). I've spent many hours on their website admiring all of the photos of the old fire apparatus.
I've tried to get more info/history about that truck directly from SCCFD, but have had no luck.
