That Dumont 2 way radio has a lot of value to radio collectors. Very rare radio these days.

That brings back memories. Back in the 70's I used to operate a 42 Ford fire engine. It had the same ignition system. The old truck is still operated as a parade piece with 4000 original miles.

That's awesome. The only thing wrong with it is it's too good to modify for some other purpose. It really should stay as it is. Mostly......

The standard bell/buzzer code from the back step to the driver was 2 to go forward, 3 to back up, 1 to stop. It was the same code used by railroads for the conductor and engineer to communicate with each other before two-way radios came into use.

Our department had several COE Ford's of that era. Some had a Marmon Harrington Four Wheel Drive conversion kit installed at the factory. Good trucks BUT sure got hot in the cab during summers.

Hence the safari windows. Sounds good. With Armstrong steering always keep your fingers on the outside of the steering wheel. Don't turn your hand upside down to make a turn.

Yep, those tilt out windows help to keep you from melting sitting with a hot motor in you lap. ;-) By the way, the signal bell is almost universally 1= STOP, 2=GO, and 3=BACK UP

It's a shame someone removed the water tank. It may have been rusted out. A fire engine that can't pump water is without its soul.

Flip open windows were to shead rain water off and for defrost before the days of good wipers and heaters

@YblockEnthusiast Жыл бұрын
it had wipers though. itd also blast you in the face with tons of water if you drove it like that in the rain.... I believe it was for parades mostly as the fire department would have done those often enough to want something like that.
@evanstauffer4470
@evanstauffer4470 6 ай бұрын
@@YblockEnthusiast It was to let more air into the cab for cooling on hot days. Many vehicles of that time period had those. Nothing to do with parades or shedding rain.
