On Tuesday night the Military Veterans Museum and Education Center took possession of a Truck, Fuel or Oil Servicing, 750 Gal., 2-1/2-ton, 6 X 6, F-3. Apparently this truck has quite a history, Tony Budge, Chet Krause, and Kevin Kronlund are a few of the previous owners of this vehicle. If anyone has any older pictures or more history of this vehicle we would be interested in hearing from you.
Yesterday I did a photo walk-around of the truck to document it's present condition. It has a Yale & Towne Manufacturing Company Tri-rotor Model 80BV pump installed. I made contact with Tri-rotor Company today and they have all the records of every pump they ever made (Tri-rotor was founded in the 1930's). They will be researching our pump to find out when it was manufactured and who it went to. They also have parts for every pump ever made so replacement parts should be no problem. I will keep you update as I find out more.
Anyway - on to the walk-around. It can be found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/rlb_photog ... 671430322/
I have added many notes on the photos themselves (you have to hover over the box and a caption will pop up) and captions below. I would love to have your feedback on these photos and the truck as well.
