The old truck had actually been painted red at one time (over the top of the original black). It was the first fire truck in Marquette, Nebraska, just south of Central City.
No, parts of the motor are lying on the bed of the pickup. My son's father-in-law is a first-rate mechanic, and they think that all the pieces are there. I expect the pair of them to have it running and rearing to go before too long.
Was just curious, never know with them thangs....thought he might have gotten even luckier and it ran. Also, as far as parts go, hubby has been gettin some offa ebay here and there.
