1951 Ford COE fire truck I.D ???

Hi all, I have a 1951 Ford C.O.E F-6 that was at some point a fire truck...It has a pressed I.D plate that reads HV 262 Can anyone help me in finding out any history,like where it was in service etc...thanks,Jason (whitehart)

 

Here is an F-6 with a Marmon-Harrington 4 X 4 conversion direct from Ford Trucks. Does this interest you? If so use your search engine and enter "US Forest Service Ford Cab Over Fire Engines, 1947-55" It should bring you to a site their retired group has and they do restore old USFS Fire Engines. I'll bet they would be a great source of information.
