That Dumont 2 way radio has a lot of value to radio collectors. Very rare radio these days.

As an old 75yrs apparatus buff,thanks from the ❤️,grew up w/ rigs just like yours in rural MN 🥶

That brings back memories. Back in the 70's I used to operate a 42 Ford fire engine. It had the same ignition system. The old truck is still operated as a parade piece with 4000 original miles.

I like to see these old fire apparatus brought back to life.

Me too!

Very cool. I grew up in Endicott. I think I have a pic of it sitting in front of the station.

That's awesome. The only thing wrong with it is it's too good to modify for some other purpose. It really should stay as it is. Mostly......

The standard bell/buzzer code from the back step to the driver was 2 to go forward, 3 to back up, 1 to stop. It was the same code used by railroads for the conductor and engineer to communicate with each other before two-way radios came into use.

I like the old Federal Beacon ray red revolving light!

There's one like this in Pagosa Springs, CO. Good shape too

I LOOOOVE Cabovers. Thanks for saving it!

That’s beautiful!

Our department had several COE Ford's of that era. Some had a Marmon Harrington Four Wheel Drive conversion kit installed at the factory. Good trucks BUT sure got hot in the cab during summers.

Hence the safari windows. Sounds good. With Armstrong steering always keep your fingers on the outside of the steering wheel. Don't turn your hand upside down to make a turn.

Super truck! 👍👍

You should try to make the pump work for your own enjoyment

Those tilt-out windshields are your air conditioning....

2 videos within 15m? In what have you became Also, how's the amphibous car going. It is my favorite project that you have right now

I would love that to have A unit like this to build . I have A 1947 Ford F 6 Ford fire truck I’m working on at this time. Love old Iron!!!!!

Yep, those tilt out windows help to keep you from melting sitting with a hot motor in you lap. ;-) By the way, the signal bell is almost universally 1= STOP, 2=GO, and 3=BACK UP

"Armstrong" steering ;-)

Naver!

what not going to turn it into any thing? also would love to see more updates on the house boat thing

It's a shame someone removed the water tank. It may have been rusted out. A fire engine that can't pump water is without its soul.

That's a 1940 not a 42

Flip open windows were to shead rain water off and for defrost before the days of good wipers and heaters

it had wipers though. itd also blast you in the face with tons of water if you drove it like that in the rain.... I believe it was for parades mostly as the fire department would have done those often enough to want something like that.

@@1950sFordGuy It was to let more air into the cab for cooling on hot days. Many vehicles of that time period had those. Nothing to do with parades or shedding rain.
