Small Town Fire Truck

Posted by cuchulainn on Sunday, June 23, 2013 11:20 AM

Here's a pic of my kitbash Fire Truck. My small town couldn't afford an American LaFrance; so we had Fords. This one was built using a AMT Ford Louisville kit and LaFrance pumper parts.

Looks great, I always wondered what mating the Ford Louisville and the ALF pumper would look like. You did a great job....anymore pics? Any interior shots...or rear.....or right side?

It was a definite learning experience for me! I had to cut and splice the frame, build my own driveshafts, and create a new front bulkhead for the pumper body. I also had to make sure I got everything spaced right! It was very fun!
