Wish I could have gotten my hands on the '38 Ford fire truck that my home town of Rockmart GA had, less than 3,000 (that's right, 3,000, not 30,000) miles on it when they retired it in the early '70s. Rockmart still has the '58 Ford pumper they purchased new, retired from service and stored in the city maintenance barn, not much higher mileage than the '38 had--although the point is well taken that fire truck engines have spent more hours at the scene of a fire powering the pumps than they have taking the truck down the road. Especially in a small town where they don't have that far to go.
Man the sun sure must be hot out there in Arizona today, FORD stands for ......FIRST ON RACE DAY, and to my good friend Porknbeaner..................................only "GOOD" friends let you drive thier Fords, { He-He } BDM

I have seen a few after they remove all the pumps and water tank and they have been converted into a car hauler and the guys would load their car in the back and head to the show. Very cool
Mine is 69 E 300 , 302 with 3 on tree. 29,000 miles. It has an hour meter too. Bought it a few years ago with 26,000 miles in PA and drove it to OKC. It is base camp at the car shows. The lights are usually not on it unless parade/show. Drive it often.
