1937 chevrolet american lafrance fire engine / fire truck cold start sulphur springs vol. fire dept

This as a video I shot of the sulphur springs volunteer fire department's toy ole "hullie" (parade/community relations unit), this truck was the first engine the department had , it was purchased from bristol tennessee in 1969 for the start of the fire department ,it's first chief was Mr.Lee Payne the truck was first housed in the service station next to the department , in the garage bay by night , and out front in the parking lot by day ....there is a lot more to the story , but I am not writing a book , the truck can be seen , if a member of the department is at the station , but don't forget to make a donation to help keep ole "hullie" on the road ...a full restoration has been planed , but has no yet been a reality (funds) the truck has had many uses over the years also...but that is where I will stop for now ...If you just happen to have some parts for a 1937 chevrolet setting around , and would like to donate them to the department give me , or the department a shout ...thanks !!!

@fordfanatic100 they are for sure what was on it in 69 , by pics , and also the same size listed on the paper work from when they were new, but who knows if they are indeed the same ones that were on it in 37 lol

I am not a firetruck expert, but it appears that that one has been modernized a little. The wheels and tires don't look like the original style. That may have been done because it is easier to find tires to fit more modern wheels.

Still a great looking truck anyway.
