Utica NY 1949 American LaFrance pumper

[John Kenealy]

The rear fender in the pic doesn't look like it's rusted out, just banged up. The metal as I'm sure you know is heavy gauge and should be repairable. Some hammer and dolly work and a little heat shrinking will bring them back.

I guess the rest of the fender has a big hole in it.  The repair guy said the fabrication job would be a lot of work, and if we could find replacement fenders, we would be better off.  We also need the kick plates from both sides under the doors.  The photo above was taken before the rig was dismantled for refurbing, by a garage that never finished the job.  Some parts are missing, including the plates.  We are now taking it to a new repair shop to finish.
