Where did the fire Jeep serve at? Are you going to letter it for that department? Looks great, can't wait to see it when it's done!

It was bought for an Industrial Fire Brigade by Western Electric in Winston Salen NC in 1954, where it served until 1989, then went to a Boy Scout Camp fror a few years, then to 2 private individuals, then I bought it. Strangely enough, it was never lettered/stickered/goldleafed ever in it's life.

Latest Update: What a jeep looks like without sheetmetal. All nicely painted and ready for the body!

I like the mule, but my wife loves it. She calls it hers.

As for the Jeep, the exhuast system was giving me some problems, but I have that figured out. A combination of "shade tree mechanic" fixes over the past 70 years and some not quite right parts gave me fits for a few days, but we worked thru it.
