They got this one almost stuck coming off the ship..
had the ramp at to great of an angle to the dock..
off loaded a total of 5 of them..
2 orange
2 blue
and 1 yellow one


and then we pulled this out of an old warehouse that had been closed up for several years..
Its an old Port Fire truck, the siren even still works...
I forget what year it is but it is a dodge and has a flat head six in it.
we finally got it running after about 5 hours of working on it.
they are going to let us restore it..

 

Pretty cool!!

 

Nice

 

They gotta give you somethin to do out there Daniel

 

Oh good my blue one finely got here, I've been waiting for it

 

well atleast something to break up the monotany....
seen some pretty cool stuff lately..

they had a squad of Apache helicopters come in about 2 weeks ago.. to get shipped out..

and we are always getting in M1 abrams that are getting shipped back from Iraq..
Sat in a heavily armoured Humvee too..
now that thing was like a tank..
2" thick doors, along with 2" thick glass

 

You wont have to wait long

those 5 didnt sit for very long..
just long enough to get them off the ship, wash'em and then load them up on a car carrier.

 

that is a 6 volt system on the fire truck.
i say from the late 40's early 50's.
cool project.

 

Yeah it is a 6 volt system..
the mechanics hooked up a regular car battery to it, and was trying to get it started..,
we had to remind them that the fire truck battery was a 3 cell battery..
they looked at us alittle confused at first, and then snapped to what we where telling them...LOL
no harm done tho..
we finally got it started...
all it needed was a new rotor cap, and new gas.

 

looks like the old power wagon from trucks
