http://www.nucleus.com/~fms/ There's a link on the Calgary Firefighters Museum Society website you could use to send an email, maybe they would have some suggestions. The museum has restored a 1948 and 1954 Bickle Seagrave, and a 1941 International Seagrave, just to name a few.

Good Luck

This is the web address for the Society for the Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Motorized Fire Apparatus in America, aka SPAAMFA

www.spaamfaa.com

They might have a name of resources you can contact for parts.

SPAAMFA also has a magazine that I believe is called "Engine, Engine". It has articles and a column dealing with restoring apparatus.
