Last week Doug picked up this 1911 tiller aerial from the Sacramento Fire Dept on the semi trailer (which is how most trucks get here). The tiller has a colorful history in California, including being hit by two streetcars at the same time (the frame damage is still visible in the trailer).
We will be rebuilding this truck for SFD, and expect that the project will take about two years.
The 1914 Ahrens Fox tractor was repainted without the trailer and displayed at Harrah's in Las Vegas, and has been stored inside since then. Unfortunately, the trailer has been outside and will require a lot of creative engineering to get it back to factory fresh.
We will document the progress here as it moves along toward it's 'redelivery' date. Stay tuned...
