It's always a pleasure to see and read about FWD vehicles....My two grandfathers worked for the company in Clintonville, Wisconsin during WW2...My first cousin worked for Seagraves restoring and upgrading fire trucks but has since retired....I still have the WW2 German belt buckle my one grandfather had chrome plated in the factory...Bodes
