Vehicle description
This was buffalo minn 1940 fire truck. It had 2888 mile when sold to the shriners in the late 80"s. There is oil change sticker dated 1994 and mileage is 4130. I got the truck 10 years ago with mileage of 5400 and now is 5852. Believed to original mileage. The truck had a vacuum of 13 and was very had to start. I pulled the engine and rehoned the cylinders and new rings. it is 228 cubic inch 25 inch length engine. It was NOT over bored and valves where not touched. I has vacuum of 19 now. I has NO rush in corners,just mild surface rust under floor mat, I have a clean title and it is in mine name. It starts right up with 40 psi oil pressure and runs at 40 until hot, then it will idle at 25 and the faintest touch of throttle it goes to 40. I have driven it in a 90 degree parade for 1 hour and it ran at 160 degrees the entire time
what I have done to the truck
all wheel cylinders are sleeved in stainless and all new shoes 3 new u joints (took a year to find) rebuilt carb flushed rad added the red lights on roof added the blue light on bumper rebuild fuel pump
what works siren really works the PTO works but the pump has a crack, I bet the pump was not drained. It is made by viking pump company red lights flood light heater spare tire, no idea how it is mounted 3 point tow bar that bolts to front bumper to tow it
problems has small dent behind tool box on bed the wood running boards has rubber removed and replaced with carpet not sure why pump has a crack the orginial wood ladder is missing top cruising speed 40 MPH a car seat is bolted in bed, great to sit on and throw candy at parades
It is great old fire truck that runs good, very very low mileage, has some road rash and fainted paint but fun at parades It is still a 80 year old truck so no warranty and bought as is. It can be towed with tow bar, weight I guess is 8000 pounds.
