BOBWhite Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 War era fire engine? I need to see pictures of this! The wooden stuff will all have to be made or found at a garage sales. Don't know about the carb.

1958 F.W.D. Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 For the carb, you're going to have to be more specific.....as in what engine? The siren- check with Joe Dorgan www.thesirenman.com Turn signals- they are out there. Sniffing into that for you. Mack extinguisher- good luck, they are rarer than Hen's Teeth. Maybe try the various fire service flea markets. Wood ground ladders: Keep your eyes open on fleabay, also at fire service flea markets.

Robert J. Walla Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 The elder Dorgan and his son are complete opposites on the integrity spectrum. The son ruined his dads business. Do not trust the son under any circumstances.
