Anyone know military fire trucks?

Mystery solved! Served at Ft. Logan in Colorado. A military fire truck historian has paperwork on the truck and where it served. He was able to identify it from its fire pumps serial number! Wonder what the chances of that are? Always neat to find the history of a vehicle!

Thats a barn find, or more of a under a tree find. Me personally would get it into running shape, but leave the body and all as is. I think leaving it as you found it gives it its own uniqueness.
Not sure what is going to happen to it right now. Its in to nice a shape to strip down to nothing and restore. I think your right goose, it needs to stay as it is, in as found shape. You can still see the OD under alot of the red paint so its obvious it was a MV. Well see what happens!

I remember watching a car show where they found a Deuesdenburg Type 57 in a garage where it had sat for 55 years. They took it from there, in really bad shape(4 flats, and lots of dust and grime did not run either) and sold it at the local Christie's actuation for $780,000. Now granted the car was worth in restored condition 1.5 mill. but over half the full cost, for a BARN FIND!?!
