Field Unit - X Military?
« on: July 18, 2010, 11:02:55 PM »
Okay Guys,
Here is one for you.  This truck was run by the Parry Volunteer Fire Company of Cinnaminson, NJ.  The original photographer is unknown, and little is known about the piece itself.  I seem to recall seeing it as a kid back in the late 60's...  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

This truck would have originally been a WWII Ford GTB bomb truck like the one pictured below. It was obviously heavily modified by the department for fire service.

I agree with the above post.  The former military Ford was probably converted by the user department as a brush unit.
