1950 Dodge Power Wagon frame off restoration Vehicle was purchased new by the Lawrence Radiation Labratory IN LIVERMORE CA from COAST FIRE APPARATUS …. The radiation labratory was a secret nuclear development lab… it is only in the last few years that pictures of the lab and this truck when it was new have been released and published in the archives I have included those original pics in the auction for your viewing. This truck has the optional and rare REAR BELT DRIVE SYSTEM. it is complete from PTO to the drum out back. It has a cover built into the diamond plate to protect it when not in use ….Front Pump was completely rebuilt but has not been used since Resto. That’s up to the next ownerCorrect siren and hose reel.Frame axles and many other parts were powder coated for shine and durability.Wheels have chrome trim rings and gold leaf adorns various areas of the underside.Look at all pictures and ask all questions BEFORE BIDDINGDEPOSIT is NON REFUNDABLEmake sure you check with the bank, your wif, God or whoever you need to confer with before making a moveTruck also has full chrome radiator shell The truck looks even better in person. The pics don’t do justiceGood luck everyone I’ll add more info if anything comes up
Lastly. Apparently JOHN F KENNEDY sat in this rig on 1962 when he visited the radiation labratory. Google search it. It’s a big deal …. He was killed about a year later. While I don’t have a picture to prove this …. It seemed to be common knowledge among coast employees and the fire crew in the area that served the lab.
This truck was owned by the govt until early 80’s. I still have the bill of sale showing this. It will go with the truck. I also have a clean CA title for the truck.
