Decomissioning ex VFD truck.
Two days ago I purchased an old F450 fire truck from a former client of mine who is associated with the local VFD. I bought it to use as a farm truck. It currently has a service box on it with lettering calling it a "support unit" for a fire company that is hundreds of miles away. I am making arrangements to have that replaced with a flat bed and to set the service box aside to take up space while a day dream about turning it into a camper.
I tagged/insured it yesterday. Today I drove it to my business just to fill it up and get a feel for anything it may need. I also took it to the grocery store to get lunch. It's sitting in the parking lot as I write this.
This afternoon, I got an angry phone call from the seller laying into me pretty good about not driving it while it has the lettering and the lights on it, not with the lights illuminated, mind you, just with the lights physically on the truck. The impetus for this was several complaints he got from people who were "seeing the truck around town." He is a future former member of the local VFD, and I think there is some bad blood there, but I digress.
Saturday is the day I had planned to do the typical "new to me vehicle" service and pull off all the lettering. What else needs to come off make sure this thing is on the up and up.
I'd like to change the lights to amber if I can. My state allows both agricultural escort vehicles and construction vehicles to run whites/ambers. Since the truck is already set up for it, I'd like to take advantage of it. I'd appreciate any input you have on that. The box has whelen edge lights on it, and the bar a red/white led, but I can't see any name plate.
Thank you.
