As a hobbyist of both fire trucks and Power Wagons....please if you are to convert it from a fire truck sell it to a fire truck collector. Also it seems that a well done fire truck on a PW chassis is bringing a lot of cash.....The Black Forest one for example.
And another aspect is that a fire truck attracts attention of people at a show or cruise. My friend has a beautiful 1954 PW in Hunter green and black fenders, and he is always envious of the attention mine gets over his....I get people asking all kinds of questions about the history of the truck...how many fires it has put out....and so forth....
A fire truck has history...kids follow fire trucks down the street...a fire truck is a symbol of a communities pride....a fire truck is always in the parade.....I am sure that some readers of this forum have fire trucks and they know what I am talking about.
