1939 Chevrolet Pumper
This 1939 Chevrolet/1.5 ton fire apparatus with 500 F-M American-Marsh pump and 500-gallon tank was restored by Bob Studer in 1978. It was the very first engine for the Richville (OH) Volunteer Fire Department in 1948, shop-built by the members. Studer bought it in 1977, restored it, and sold it back to Richville in 1984. It is now privately owned by a local business, and runs on the original 1939 Chevy motor. Photos courtesy of Bob Studer.
