just my opinion....i really wasn't interested in firetrucks.....just because I couldn't use one for it's original intension. But recently i've had the opportunity to help participate in a dissasembly and restoration. I am amazed at the old craftsmanship that was used to build these one-off trucks. Hand fitted plumbing,valve linkages, front mounted water pumps, engagement controls... Little cottage manufacturing companies using arc welders and torches to create a purpose. I appreciate all power wagons and enjoy discovering each one's own history. I can atest to the amount of energy and passion it takes to restore one of these old firetrucks.
