Re: Pumper truck
My grandad who lived in Bandana, Ky had one of those old trucks in his front yard for a few years. My uncle/his son had been a fire chief and the truck was retired/replaced. I think it was a 1954 F-3 (350). My brother and I climbed onto it a few times around '62.

Re: Pumper truck
Typically Fire trucks have had engines rebuilt or replaced several times despite the mileage on vehicle as engine drives the water pump and may have thousands of hours on it.
