If I recall correctly, Coast Fire Apparatus was purchased by Howe Fire Apparatus who later acquired Oren Fire Apparatus. So the body design for many Power Wagons may have been shared from any of the three manufacturers.

I know in Fairfax County, Va where I was a firefighter, we had many Power Wagon brush trucks. Most were converted pick-ups doen at the County Apparatus shop. Some of the neighboring departments had the Power Wagons with commercially manufactured bodies.

Dont forget to look through the registry for some pictures.

SPAMFAA has an excellent monthly magazine (Engine, Engine) that may provide some help.

You may also want to look at the Antique Truck Club of America (ATCA) website. They too have good information and pictures. They also have a monthly magazine (Wheels of Time).

Best of luck.

Mike
