Default Re: History, Teardown, and Rebuild 63 1-ton panel

First two photos are black and white shots while at Rouss Fire Company. The first was taken at the rear of the truck of Donald "Gundy" Seabright. I was told the truck carried men, lights, fans, and generators to fire calls. It had bench seating down both sides in the back. It was used during the winter as fundraising for the fire dept as they used it to drive around and shovel driveways. Second photo is of my next door neighbor who was the chief at the time. He is being presented with an iron lung that would be carried in the truck along with the stretcher seen here. This is the second and final paint scheme that the truck carried. The name was removed from the doors and the new fire company seal added to the side of the truck. Third photo is the truck in its original paint scheme during the Shenandoad Valley Apple Blossom Parade in Winchester, VA.

Forrest Gump photos next... Jeremy Cooper
