Federal Signal 2T22B Restoration Project-Lots of Photos!

[MOStormChaser]

As some of you may know, I acquired a 1978 Federal Signal 2T22B in the Fall of 2015. Over the past year that I've had it, I have been cleaning it up, making sure all the parts it has are in good, working order, making sure it runs as it should, removing the old paint, and re-painting it. Here is what I have gotten done thus far:
October 2015:

That's all for now. I will be updating this topic as the restoration continues.

I've been using a wire wheel on my 'bolt. It's taken long hours to make progress. You're looks good though great job!
