66 ford/howe fire truck -- need info/help
good day
so l have been intrusted with the project of getting
a 66 fire truck running/pumping
it is currently tweeker-hot-wired
such that it can be moved,
and l am told that all the engine really needs is some carb love
(l havent done any diagnostics)
and the pump worked 2 years ago -- that is it sprayed water
they seem to think there is a missing electrtical pannel (sabatoge)
and that the problems are mostly electrical
(which seemes strange to me, since the pump and valves are all mechanical as far as l can tell)
any way
l am looking for information and it's sorces
first of all a good forum for trucks of this age
or for fire trucks of this sort
secondly manuals wiring diagrams and such
especialy for the fire truck/pump and what not
any one who has ever worked on a similar beast
with advice or caution
specs/info:
