My initial thought was FMC Corp (ex Food Machinery Corp, later just FMC.) And that's what I'm going with. I found several references to engines & pumpers that were built with FMC bodies and/or water pumps. I checked their website and they don't show any new fire equipment, so I guess they sold or exited that line of business. Here is a refererence: < www.firebooks.com/catalog.asp?CID=0A26002DAA8&DID=2020&Mode=ProdByCat&TP=21&Cat=276 > FMC started in San Jose building food processing equipment, and later built military equipment such as the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. But they sold that business to United Defense in the 1980's. Good luck!<br><b>References : </b><br> No, I don’t think it’s Ford.
