Fire engines
As most of you know, many WW2 trucks were converted into fire engines after the war. For a selection of preserved Chevrolet CMPs in the Netherlands, some heavily modified, some not, see http://historical-fire-engines.com/c....php?cat_id=26.

Danish Beauty

A very recent addition is this C60 in Denmark: http://www.historical-fire-engines.c...?image_id=1272 If that link doesn't work, go to: http://historical-fire-engines.com/ and click on Denmark, then Chevrolet. Brian

What about that Ford F15A fire truck you photographed many years ago, Brian? Any larger size pics available that you can share with us? Thanks, Hanno

Ford F15A Fire Truck
Sorry Hanno, I can't locate those photos I took a number of years ago at the annual Labour Day fire muster in St. Thomas, Ontario. Rod Diery does have them on his website here:

Interesting Conversions One Thing I Do Not Understand
Hi Hanno
One of the things that interested me about some of the post war conversions of CMPs involving Cab and Windscreen reworks. With the normal conversions I can sort of understand why they reverse the windscreens so they slope back and look more "normal". But why reverse windscreen on vehicles used in conditions of rain or water spray? Having driven my CMPs in bad weather the reversed slope windscreen is the only thing that keeps the water or snow off the windscreen is the reverse slope. Either sitting or driving it works better than vertical or normal slope out at the bottom. The only other vehicles that seem to get this point is some military airfield fuel trucks. What are peoples thoughts? Cheers Phil
