Found this over the weekend.

1940 Chevy COE Fire Truck. LWB. Most went into Navy Fire Fighting Service. Very Rare.

This is a basket case and needs alot of work....

1940 COE

Weasel Nut,

That thing is so ugly it screams take me home. The third headlight is worth the whole thing. You would be the only guy on your block with one.

Could be really neat redone. As if you need any more encouragment from the rest of us.

Good Luck

Cat Man,

You are correct.

I would be the only guy living under the Interstate over pass in a refer box with one once my Supreme Allied Commander saw it come into the yard...The question is how to get power for my compressor at that location. :lol:
