Priced right too. Would be hard pressed to restore one for what this is selling for...

I would take that. Go buy it for me Dave. I have sent the seller a note, lets see if it happens. As Chris says, I couldn't restore mine for that money, and money comes every couple weeks, but time keeps passing me by.
I note a few things missing on this one that are on mine so mine won't go to waste. |

Found this on a Canadian Navy history website.
Navy Base firetruck 1966. The link provides detail as to location and usage. http://www.forposterityssake.ca/GALL...GLOUCESTER.htm Obviously not 4X4 ...so guessing Base usage only Assume some fire-truck company bought a Ford chassis and added the bits and pieces. Was this a one-off...or a limited production? The 98036 licence plate is a gift for tracing it's history |

That same King-Seagrave body was also used to convert CMPs. There are a few minor differences in equipment, but mine looks almost identical. Oddly enough, mine also came from the town of Amherstburg. They acquired it from Base Borden and used it as their brush fire truck.
One nice thing about fire trucks is that they tend to remain in active service and get carefully maintained longer than other trucks. By the time Amherstburg was done with it, it was already a collector's item and became the Kingsville (also Ontario) Fire Department's parade vehicle. It never went through that period when it was just a worn out truck sitting in a field rusting for decades. |

Rob,
In this film from Picton in 1963, the fire truck drives by at the 9.44 mark of the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPlw_Jy3p8I |
