1926 Seagrave firetruck


Recommended Posts

Here's the 1926 Seagrave firetruck with a 6 cylinder Continental engine.  The truck has 97 original miles and has been in storage for many years.  About 10 years ago the building housing the firetruck burned.  The truck suffered paint damage, the tires, upholstery,  bed, battery, wiring and manifold were burned.  Apparently, when the fire was extinguished cold water hit the hot cast-iron manifold and it was extensively cracked.  We built a computer model, a mockup of the block and then built a new steel intake-exhaust manifold.  After all the welding and machine work was completed we heat treated the manifold to relieve stress and then machined

the mounting surfaces.   The photo shows the new manifold, the old manifold and the mockup of the block.  The engine last ran 3 years ago with the cracked manifold in place.  The part needed is a new glass for the big light mounted on the cowl.31AF043A-C154-4C47-B287-619D35212185_1_105_c.jpeg.97e3588c30dac244d06d0f3393441064.jpegEDFD3768-753F-4E45-A863-F07FDEFBA49E_1_201_a.jpeg.1b6446f9162e013187356a051a3e1654.jpeg
