Is it possible that this may be a 1955 Ford?

I think this may be Reserve BC 7 which was a 1956 Ford, the first line was a 1965.

It was there at the changeover in 1982 but I don't think it ever got renumbered before they junked it!

One of two hose wagons constructed by the BFD shops. When this unit was sold at auction by the City, it had been stripped

of the rear, transmission and radiator. Despite only having a few thousand miles on it, it was sold for scrap. Sad.
