1976 Seagrave

[memphise34a]

I purchased this 1976 Seagrave from a guy in CA that used it with production companies for film in TV shows, commercials, and motion pictures. I am going to use it with our IAFF affiliate (LOCAL 1784) for parades, charity events, members family functions, and PAC events.



Prior to being in CA, it was run by a Fire Dept. in PA. I will see if I can get the job or serial number tomorrow.



So far I have installed:



Federal Q

new FS model 14 rear beacons

replaced a 60" Whelen LED Freedom bar - avaailable on ebay (shameless plug) with a FS Twinsonic.

installed that era's Opticom emittor.

installed most of the lettering.



What I have left:



install "1784" numbers on rear doors and rear of pumper

convert front red Whelen lights from halogen to strobe (maybe)

remove or cover front Engine 2-2

install Seagrave bell that is currently getting rechromed

install flush mount Mars 888 in the nose

paint silver wheel trim rings black

find another section of hard suction - might be hard

find some 2 1/2" caps - will be easy



attached is a before/after pic so far. I will post more as I make progress.
