1958 F.W.D. Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I grew up in the right-hand seat of two F-Models on weekends and in the summers, and loved every minute of it!!!!! My father is now retired, however he still works part-time delivering brand new firetrucks out of the factory in Breda, Iowa mostly to the east coast. Hopefully one day my boys will be able to tag along with him for one or two rides.

Rob Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Ohhh, and incidently; I'll have each and every one of yous guys know there are four trucks in the shop with completely full diesel fuel tanks, and two freshly topped off 55 gallon fuel barrels also. As an added bonus, it is all green fuel too! Also I haven't ran out of fuel a single time since replacing all the fuel lines from the tanks, to the filters, to the injection pump on "Project R-12" last month.Everybody always picks on me around here. Swear I'm developing some kind of complex or something.........Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

I did give a roadside class on diesel engine priming to 2 other guys that had no idea on how to get a diesel restarted after running out!!
