of course no badges whatsoever, would have been way too easy then... :o

the only real chance is if somebody can recognize the main pumper body

I'm thinking an International chassis for this one, with the front engine layout - most of the other fire apparatus builders used a mid-engine chassis (from Duplex, FWD, etc.) instead.

For the body/final assembly, it looks like it might have been re-bodied at some point. And being a movie prop it's also missing the hard suction hoses that would be mounted on the side.

^ seems you are correct , that front grill is mostly IH based !! !
