Well I haven't for got about my truck....just got side tracked with too many things at once.....So I finally got my old fire truck running and moving...it's a 1954 American Lafrance fire truck with a 883 cubic in gas fire 6 cylinder in it. It has 3 fuel pumps dual coils one distributor but runs 2 plugs per cylinder. Not only does it run now.....it actully moves too....just needs a good was job any scratch another project off the list.

The goal is to get rid and fix/move some of my "gems " to make room for a new shop to work in. I am getting too old to have a crappy shop...lol

We talked about frame re-enforcement a while back. Here is an interesting frame build.

66-PMD-GMC · 10-01-2011, 11:50 AM

Here is another shot.

wutnxt · 10-01-2011, 01:39 PM

QWYKTRUK · 10-01-2011, 03:10 PM

I have seen a few pictures of your truck and there is some great work on your ride. I just wish mine was together so i could enjoy some seat time ...but with winter on it's way here I have kinda shifted gears on my build. It might as well spend some time in a nice warm body shop getting prep'd while I bang out a few smaller projects.....

QWYKTRUK · 10-01-2011, 03:49 PM

That's why we live here in the desert! You can't shovel sunshine !

I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product you are putting together.

Stay warm! It's 101 here today , cloudy and a chance of thunderstorms and 30% chance of rain. Haha! That means we ain't getting any!

I sooooo here ya wutnxt

wutnxt · 10-03-2011, 11:21 PM

My plan is to run 3" exhaust through the side of the box infront of the back tires. So i am looking for something cool in stainless that would mount to the box with a flange on the back side of it. I was thinking something maybe from a boat?..But i really don't want just a trim piece that just goes around the exhaust...I want a piece that mounts to the box if you know what i mean....suggestions and ideas ?

Egads... I have read entirely too many of these builds.
In one of them (sorry I am not a search guru) someone used Corvette body exhaust trims to do what you are talking about. If I can find it again I will post the thread link here for you.

66-PMD-GMC · 10-04-2011, 12:17 AM

Doesn't mopar have trimmed exhaust exit holes? Or is that ford?
I think a MK1 MG ZS trim would look cool and follow the shape pretty closely.
It's more of a notch than a hole.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-04-2011, 02:22 PM

You should build something like Tow-guyz did for his wrecker build and then chrome it. That would look sweet! by the way, cool fire truck! And you weren't kidding about growing trucks there.

===============================================

Ya from what i have seen so far i think i am going to have to make something and then powder coat it or chrome it.....so much for doing it the simple way....but hey thats how it goes sometimes......Ya i got a few wrecks in the " Field of dreams"

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-04-2011, 02:29 PM

Besides, if you build it, it will be unique to your truck as the rest of it is.

Ya....and i want it to look cool....and protect the body from the exhaust....so it looks like the way to go...

McMurphy · 10-04-2011, 07:32 PM

Awesome build!
I am not sure which to be more jealous of, the build or the shop you are doing it in...

I am currently stationed in Alaska, but when I retire I will be back in Spokane, too cool to know some of you are local. I cannot wait to see how this rig turns out, then see it in person some day!!

Dinos63 · 10-10-2011, 06:24 PM

move ya back up

wutnxt · 10-10-2011, 10:18 PM

Sorry.....more updates soon

I have been working on my shop getting it cleaned and sorted out before all the crappy weather hits.....

Well did a little more work on the truck and it's stuck in the chassis shop behind a 3 ton international....for those of you heading to SEMA this year the 3 ton truck is going to be there . I will take some pics maybe tomorrow and show you what that looks like. It's freaking wicked...built from the ground up and detailed to the max.....My big block is down at the machine shop with my blower and it looks like i have everything i need now to put it together. My buddy is building a 47 along side of mine and they will be side by side at the body shop soon and thats going to be pretty cool. His lays running boards,has a big back window,set back firewall,smoothed out it's a really nice ride....can't wait to go rolling side by side.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-02-2011, 07:34 PM

Sounds good to me. More shop space, who can't use that right?
