Hello from Hammond

Postby Dennis Darouse on Wed Feb 11, 2009 1:43 pm

Hi I am Dennis from Hammond. Learned about this site from Jake on stovebolt site. Don' know much but enjoy learning and admiring other vehicles people have worked on.
This is my 1941 Chevrolet / American LaFrance pumper. (There are plenty more pictures in my Photobucket album.) This Chevrolet Art Deco series fire engine was originally purchased by the City of Magnolia Mississippi Fire Department. The motor number was AG1000890 and the American LaFrance number is B1167. So far, I am unable to find the VIN on this truck. (By the way Magnolia, MS is about 45 miles north of Hammond and this is where my parents eloped and were married.)

After retiring from the Hammond Fire Dept. on September 15, 2001, I still wanted to be a part of the fire service. So I decided to start my own department . A friend of mine had this truck in a warehouse and sold it to me when he found out I was looking for a truck. It is a 500 GPM pump with a 250 gallon booster tank (which was totally rusted, so I removed it for more in order to allow for more people to ride).

I had a friend, who is a sandblaster, do some minor body work and paint the truck for me several years ago -- not show quality but for what I paid, it is great for fun quality.
