Bit of elbow grease and that's a keeper, excellent condition for a '42

damn strait especially since it was an army fire truck, that's were the green is from

Awesomeness! I'm looking for an old truck like that to mount an Ottawa corn sheller on like they did back in the 40's.

try carsonline.com that were i found this one

now thats a buetiful piece of machinery there *howl*

thanks shes a real jem *wags tail*

that she is*howls at that beutiful machine*

if you think she looks beautiful you should hear her. She growls when she idols, roars when you hit the gas, and howls loud and proud when you turn on the siren.

aawwwwww*drools waging tail in excitement*

Great looking truck :)

Hope your restoration goes well.

thanks, its restoration has slowed down a bit because of my job but its going well.

I think I'm jealous

Are you on DA? I'm sure I've seen your avatar there...

This is a great looking Dodge, I love that style of headlight placement, only ever seen it a few times before.

I would love to see your build on it, do you have a CarDomain page? Here's mine http://www.cardomain.com/id/ln7_nut

What a beauty <3

Thanks

Aw damn! That's a pretty neat truck! :D
I have a Volvo tp21 (sugga) from 56' witch also is a truck from the military.

And I assume you bought yours just in the beginning of may 2011(?) according to the info for the submission and the date it's uploaded. I bought mine in late may.
So out of curiosity I'm now asking you, how are you doing progress wise on your truck?

Slow, between my job, the weather and money (just bought a new truck) it's slow

I know the feel.

Only thing that's been done on mine on these 2 years is that we've lifted of the body and I've managed to remove most of the old underseal. :/ Gonna try and get things going as soon as it gets warmer due to the "garage" being cold as fuck right now.

I've cleand the engin and tore out the water tank it had (wasn't the original tank) and I've been applying oil and diesel to stop the rest. Here it the opesit its hot as hell here

We should change places for a while to get things done. Haha.

Mine was in parts, complete yet in parts, when I bought it so I have to restore the body and frame before I can begin with the rest. It's just such boring job removing old ass underseal. Hope you'll never have to do that because it is a big pain in the ass.

So, as soon as I have had it all cleaned up and repainted I can keep on with the more exiting parts.

All I need is to fix the motor and breaks find some parts find vintage equipment and paint it (maybe some time in the fewcher I might even fix her pump

Aaah, nice. Then you should be able to get it running fairly soon. c:

Mine is like an extremely big 3D puzzle. Will be fun once the restoration get going for real though.
Actually getting really motivated just by talking about it.

just wondering, where did you get it from, like..town wise?? I swear Ive seen this truck before, even took pictures of it a few years back!

I got it up near Dallas Tx.

Haha, i would bet money that its the same truck i saw ao long ago. Its a beauty :3
