Sorry for the pic sizes.
There are several parades that we participate in with our 1932 Ford Fire Engine. For this years Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade we wanted to do something new. After a little searching, I bought a POS golf cart from a local dealer. I paid $100.00 for a non-running pile-o-crap. They shoulda paid me to take it away, but, we needed it now. For those that may not know, a tiller truck is the one that has the fireman steering on the back.
This is after we cut the front end off. All I wanted was the front end for it's axle and steering assembly and the seat.
