Anyone have a GM extinguisher?
Hi guys - does anyone have a GM fire extinguisher like the one in the picture below? If you do - could you post some pictures of the text on the label? I can't afford $400 - $600 for a fire extinguisher..... So I thought I would try to make a "similar" label and put in on a new extinguisher. Something to do for fun I guess.
I think this extinguisher is the one used in 70-72 trucks. |

Re: Anyone have a GM extinguisher?
I am looking for the text from the label of the fire extinguisher itself -- not the tag attached. Thanks though -- I may be ordering one of those from you in the near future.

Re: Anyone have a GM extinguisher?
I have one. The bottle and handle/gauge are exact but the label Is different. Label is tin and wrapped around the bottle. It is dated 64.

Re: Anyone have a GM extinguisher?
Well here is the finished product from the first trial run. Its not exact and a few mistakes to correct but overall not too bad for a first shot I think.

Re: Anyone have a GM extinguisher?
That could very well be. That label looks Soper nice. Did you make it yourself or a shop in town do it for you? This is how the label is on a 67 extinguisher tHai i restored..

Re: Anyone have a GM extinguisher?
I didn't have a shop do the label - I made it myself. I've done print design work in the past so I have some experience with it.
The label obviously isn't printed on the heavier tin/aluminum that the originals are done on. But it is a fairly heavy/thick metal type backing. Then I cut a clear overlay to go on as a final step. I think 90% of people out there aren't going to notice the difference from an original bottle. Plus when putting these labels on a new bottle... you actually have a new ABC extinguisher that can save your truck! Once I am done fixing all the small issues I will put them up for sale to anyone who would like to order for their truck. - Last edited by saskred; 03-11-2016 at 02:14 PM.

Re: Anyone have a GM extinguisher?
I think I'm going to try making labels from other years as well. I've never seen a label with GMC on it like that before. GMC items are probably a lot harder to get a hold of.
