Those beauties belong to Jim Murdock from Ligoneer, PA. The fire truck is near perfect original with chrome windshield. The green truck was built by Frank Irons and has a 440 and six-pac installed. The red, blue, and gray ones were nice low mileage PWs that Jim had completely restored. Some former fire trucks I believe. It was common for fire companies to paint the front bumpers silver and Jim Murdock and John Low (another collector in PA) follow suit. A couple of really neat features on Jim's trucks include battery disconnect electrical shut-off switchs and NOS Sig-Boot weather protectors on the wiring to the fender-mounted turn signals.
