This is a rare WWII 1945 USAAF CCKW 6X6 1945 U.S. ARMY AIR FORCE Crash/ Fire Truck. This type truck was used on Army Air Force runways during WWII. It has the original front bumper that was given to it during 1945, it was larger so it could push damaged aircraft off of runways. She is a strong runner! The Darley 500 GPM Centrifugal Pump works. This truck has recently been media blasted and new coats of war paint with markings were applied.
At one time she was U.S. Air Force blue but the Army Green was clearly seen as the original coat.(Some of the blue can still be seen on the undercarriage along with the original Green).
Everything works on this truck with the exception of the gas gauge. Recent tune-up with new plugs, points, condenser, wires, battery, fan belt, etc,etc... The oil pressure is great! The lights and signals work. Very little needs to be done to make this an exceptional parade or show vehicle.
It comes with all hoses and nozzles that are seen in pictures. Included is the large siren that goes on the truck (works great, loud!).
