Nice piece. It is a model 135 or 325.

Only a couple of things are not original, better than most. Wrong are mirrors, siren, and if that is an aluminum ladder its out. Very simple restore to original.

Super potential!

Bill

Hmmmmmm, looks like a model 525 to me. The absence of booster reels at the front corners of the beds would eliminate the 135 and 325.

I believe you may be correct. I went to my archives and have a picture of a 525 at Grenier Field (Manchester NH) post war. A ford with no side reels no cabinets and a top mounted booster.

My 325 was post war modified and one of the boosters was repositioned to the top so that a large cabinet could be put in its place mid-ships.

The only way to really tell would be by dataplates.
