1937 J5 fire truck

[Chris_Dresbach]

Did anybody ever build a fire truck out of a 1937 J5 coupe express pickup? I have a model of a '37 I may customize, but would need a photo of a real one.
Thanks.

There is one in the Seattle area. Anyone have pics of it at Spokane, or Sac. meets?

Mike, you are probably thinking of Wheeler's - http://www.pbase.com/redtop/image/18590720

Yes:



And a different K-series.

Thanks, that should help. Do you have a shot of the back of the truck?

But that's a K model, and not the smaller J5...

I knew I recalled the number wrong, pre war is not my specialty. Chris got his picture. close enough?

I'd be surprised if there ever was a J5 (or K5 or L5) fire truck, as that model was only a mere 1/2 ton.

There was an earlier thread where Harbor Freight was selling a K5 truck for a while....
