Picked this little gem off a farm today. Can't wait to get started on it. 292 4spd.

With all the tools I carry around, I almost need a utility bed!

I was watching this one on Craigslist and when I noticed it was gone I was really hoping a board member got it, can't wait to see what you do!

That's how it goes!

But since it has that problem, you probably don't need that 292 in there anyway. How about selling me that? :lol:

I have no way to store an engine right now but if my 250 ever goes out or if I ever get another truck I want a 292 to replace it.

Are you going to to keep the utility bed?

Nice find ,really nice , that looks like a Reading utility box , and I have to say I never even new they made a short bed utility box version I cant even recall even ever seeing one , I would venture to say that utility box is worth big bucks.

Chassis-Cab! What's up with that radio? Service sticker on the SPID says 'GTE'. Maybe that explains the yellow color under the red? I can't imagine a Fire Dept would have bought a used rig tho.

I was on a volunteer department that bought a used beer truck, turned it into a great crash (extraction tool) truck. It's possible. Was this used by a city or volunteer department?

2 PO's ago said it was the Monroe, Wa FD. So, yes city. I can tell a logo has been painted over on the doors. Maybe I can uncover it by wet sanding.

Finished a couple original caps. I think the rims would have originally been black or body color. I like the white tho.

Motorfist 02-17-2016 04:32 PM

Re: 67 swb fire truck
 
I dig the white with red also. Looks good!

What's up with the dash around the radio? Are there signs on the back that the radio area has been welded in?

I know! It's a '62 FORD radio. Welded / bondo'd / painted for a perfect fit. I'm searching for a new dash.
