Photo of a Army fire truck variant 1957-1960

My father in law served in Korea, with the 21st Artillery, 1st Cav. Div. (HQ Medical Section), from about 1957-1960. He brought his photo album over and I found a couple shots of M37s, jeeps and trucks. The close-up of the GI in the cab is just for interest. But I thought the other one might be helpful to any of you that have, or are restoring, an Army fire truck variant. the picture was taken during a fire at Camp Pelham, in Korea. The photo shows a roof light, some interesting reflectors or lights on both sides of the front bumper, in clusters of 3. And some other interesting details. I doubt you see a lot of photos of a period Army fire truck. Hope it helps someone!

Looks like an M-135, with a PTO driven pump. The details on the front bumper are just paint around the stock holes in the front bumper.

A front mount pump like that is run right off the crank shaft. Neve seen a GMC fire truck like that. COOOL
