Hi there

Welcome to the new forum - nice original early fire engine (flat locker on the rear hose boxes - only a few of those made all the rest were molded of a 44 gallon drum)

Ps - I like the name....

All the best

Hi there

Suction lines are 4" - happy to give you two lenghts with couplings but you will have to pick them up (to difficult to freight)

All the best
