Default Fire Truck at Oshkosh







Ken, Ron, and the guys did a beautiful job of restoring this 1929 fire truck that sat outside for 20 years in front of a legion hall. I wonder how it did in judging? There were more nice commercial vehicles at Oshkosh than at any national meet I've attended. Wisconsin is a beautiful state and has more perfect roads for Model A's than any state I've seen.

Wisconsin needs a longer deer season though! They have more road kill than any state I've been through, and this means many cars and trucks were damaged by the deer.

That truck looks amazing! I wish I would have made it to Oshkosh this year. From all the pictures I've seen it looks like it was a great time!

I agree with you on the deer season. Hit two deer in two weeks this past March. The second one was three days after I got it back from the body shop repaired and painted. Although it wasn't an "A" my S-10 and myself were not very happy to say the least!

Thanks for sharing the pictures!

We are very proud of that 29 Firetruck Restoration, we took 459 and a Marc of excellence. A lot of work but we did accomplish what we set out to do
