Here are some photos of a 1926 Keystone #49 fire truck that I have recently restored.


This is the condition of the truck when I bought it. The ladders and wheels have been removed. It was straight and true and looked like a good bet for restoration.

This picture of the driver's compartment shows how bad it was.

Here is the body after being media blasted. It will be primed next.

This photo shows the same view of the driver's compartment after being media blasted. It, too, will be primed as the next step.

The driver's compartment after being blasted

Here, the body has had 3 coats of primer and 3 coats of color. I have not yet put on the 2 coats of clear, which will give it a high shine.

This is the driver's compartment finished. It's been blasted, primed and painted and a new decal put in place.

Here is the restored 1926 Keystone #49 fire truck. It was a straightforward restoration, needing only paint and decals to refinish.
Time of restoration August and September 2007.
