Your right, it was a brush trck for 15 years w/. a local dept. Before that it belonged to a National Guard Unit her in N.M. Ive had it twenty years. The cab is very well made, even the roof was stamped slightly raised w/ strengh creases crisscrossing it in a diamond pattern.Judging by the little rectangular pan mounted in pucture 8, I'm gonna say ex-fire truck? That was a mount for a 6 volt flashlight in the early 70s. The ears were where the hold down spring was anchored.
Thanks for the pics!
