Chris Wetherell delivered the Wendelville Fire Company 1954 Power Wagon to my place this Saturday. A bunch of folks came over, including John S. and son, Joel and Melissa Folman, Earl Huff, and a new guy, Rich Saporito.
Thanks to Jeff Dudas for selling me this excellent truck! "Wendell" is in great original condition. He runs well and only smokes a little. We installed the new fuel pump that came with him. His gas tank and lines need to be redone, he needs his new brake parts installed and his valves and carb adjusted. I'm debating whether to have his mammoth brake booster rebuilt.
Pretty soon, Wendell will be sporting his new 11.00x16 Michelin XLs and a pair of refurbished Warn hubs. He needs a few more parts to make him whole:
- Left and Right Sunvisors (grey)
- Tow Hooks
- Battery Tray
- (1) Battery Hold Down Bolt
- Gas Tank Filler Neck (prefer no flange)
- Made in USA "Wagon" emblem (some light pitting OK)
- Parking Brake Lever Assembly
Nothing needs to be bright and shiny. In fact, used condition suits his character just fine. Thanks for any help.
Look for pictures soon. Wendell will be making his debut at the Potomac Highlands Tour in scenic WV sometime this fall.
