Tom & Dave thanks for the quick reply's.
I saw the yellow bags and assumed it had a port a tank, I never realized it was for air packs.
The truck is going to be a show truck now; she is coming to Michigan May 1st. She will join our 56 International Howe X-Mocanaqua, PA. The 56 will get a frame off restoration and this will be our play toy until she is done. More than likely we will repaint & fix body issues in the spring but for the most part no other work is needed right now. Once the 56 is completed perhaps I can convince my brother and dad to do a frame off on her as well. I am very much into completely overhauling trucks where they are more into mechanical and exterior appearance of the classics.
Now I just need to find room to park the X-Detroit American LaFrance TDA my brother still wants to purchase, and I have a 56 Cadillac Superior ambulance I want to purchase.
Thanks again,
Kris
