Hello everyone. This is a 1947 CJ2A factory Fire Truck. It is owned by the West Vancouver Fire Museum. It was purchased brand new in 1948.
In 1947
Willys-Overland, looking for new post war markets, designed a fire truck on the
CJ2A platform. Willys
licensed the design to several producers; Howe Fire Apparatus of Anderson,
Indiana, Boyer Fire Apparatus of Logansport, Indiana and for the Canadian
Market, Sterling Machine & Manufacturing of Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada. |

Picture was taken in 1950. The '48 CJ2a was converted by Howe Fire Equipment and served the Knoxville (IL) Fire Protection District for ~ 5 decades.

Great picture!
Our Jeep initially had the ladder rack as well. It was removed in the early 60's as it was almost rolled a few times. The 1948 refers to when it was acquired. In this picture it was ready for a parade, hence the sign. It is a 1947 model.
