My jeep Was a fire truck

Here’s a walk around of the new Willys fc150 jeep project. After some internet research I found that it was purchased by lake harmony volunteer fire company inc. in 1954. It was fitted with a John Bean fogger truck bed. And used as a fire truck. That explains the spot lights, power take off and red paint. Stay tuned for more updates. #jeep #firetruck

Dave Barlow with Snuggles here.
My uncle Charlie had an FC and was a welder and the Fire Chief of the Middletown, RI Fire Department.
Lots of good memories of that Jeep. His had a plow as well.
His was turquoise in color and he was constantly working on it.
So glad you got this one. Looking forward to seeing more updates on this as you go forward!

Thanks Stan! Yeah it’s a cool piece. I’m going to try to dig into its history a little more.

I was in a volunteer fire company that had three FC fire apparatus, two LWB and one SWB. The two LWB’s were used for quick attacks out in the county and the SWB had a flatbed with a skid unit used for grass fires. The SWB was a bit lively to drive and IMHO was overloaded with it’s 150 gallon water tank.

I've met you a few times at the annual show. Your work always speaks for itself. I especially like this FC project glad that you are doing it. I learned more in this video that I have in a while! On jeeps of course. Congrats on this find.

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Thank you William! Hopefully you can see it at a jeep show someday soon!

Good start running and driving is already better than most of them

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Yeha this is weird for me. I’ve never bought a jeep that ran before 😆

[@hayeslose7624]

[@DD-jr7wj]

I am really looking forward to this project

[@sergehorion7155]

It is cute (despite the christmas tree boards). Looking forward to watch what you will to do on it.

[@pierrehuard1341]

Outstanding find especially in that condition. Always wanted one but every time i find one in my area its rotted through and nearly beyond repair or they want a ridiculous price for it 🤨 Can't wait to see your restoration work on it. Thanks for the walk around 👍

[@bruceklassen8261]

Omg I love these

[@HitokiriRaiden]

always wanted one of these, would make a nice kubota diesel swap candidate.

[@danrussell3439]

Chicago Fire Department used a few of these for different uses.

How am i just finding your channel?! I have a couple cj5's and an FJ6. Subscription added!

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Awesome! Welcome and thanks for the follow.

Seth is Dr Frankenstein of truck

[@187manowar]

That cab looks pretty tight. Can you even fit in it??

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Way way way more room and more comfortable than a cj. It’s not even close. It’s incredible. Thanks that may be my favorite part. The vehicle itself is way bigger than a normal jeep.

[@greywolfwalking6359]
