Pacifica Pete Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Hello Big Mack Trucks! New member here, Pacifica Pete. I’m one of the custodians of a type 45 Fire Engine belonging to the city of Pacifica fire department. The truck was originally purchased in 1949 for the Sharp Park volunteer station, which was eventually absorbed into the larger Pacifica department. Our Type 45 is in decent shape. It runs fairly smooth, goes and stops. It was re-wired in 2011. It does need a variety of tune-up and tinkering type work which is currently in my court. The truck is used on a limited basis for parades etc. im joining to forum to seek some occasional advise and assistance with parts sourcing. Cheers Pacifica Pete (pic coming soon) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Welcome! We like truck pictures and stories behind. If you have technical questions put them in the forum related to the subject. Plenty of info is already typed there either. So worth patient readng as a start.

Popular Post Pacifica Pete Posted February 19, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2019 As promised, pictures of the fire engine. I got it outside the station today. I aired up the tires and checked the charging system which seems to be working fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
