Re: 56? fire truck
That would be a 56 chevy Low cab forward and a pretty neat one. It is probably a 3 ton or bigger. I like the front fender skirts. I have never seen any front fender skirts before. They were probably made by the upfitter company. Where did you find the picture? I would be intersted in finding more about this truck and see if it is for sale.

Re: 56? fire truck
Great pic, it wasn't but about 10 years ago when we finally retired our 1955 International R-190 fire truck.

Re: 56? fire truck
I had that truck bought at one time and they backed out on me. It sets about 40 miles from me. It came stock and still has a nail head buick in it, I had to do alot of research to believe it myself, but it did come that way. It also is 4-wheel drive has a coleman front end under it. They still have my number and are supposed to call when they talk some sense into their one brother that stopped the sell. I believe it has 1600 or so miles on it. and it was 2k for it.

Re: 56? fire truck
I figured it was 4x4 based on the height of the thing and the fender skirts....I would love to have it.

Re: 56? fire truck
There is a pretty nice looking mid 50's Mac fire truck here in town that I would love to get my hands on and restore. My only problem is that along with not enough cash I don't have a batch of grand kids to haul around in one or in parades.

Re: 56? fire truck
Well if I get it, I just want the cab. Restored fire truck might be cool to drive once a year but not worth the time or money. You can buy a restored one for pennys on the dollar of the cost to biuld one anyway. let the flaming begin..lol I want to put it on a 12valve cummins 4x4 flat bed one ton.
