12 years ago in CLASSIC TRUCKS
I now own a KB-5 2 ton fire truck, however I would like to find out the correct year model .There are are two plates on the bottom left door step .The first has a number that looks like { HF-17733 } .The nexted larger plate says model { K5H-233 } {147 } and below that a chassis no. { K5H 5415 } . Just by old photos I have seem Iam guessing somewhere between 1941 to 1949 . Any help please . Thank you .
