Since Cmoore gives little to no detail about the fire truck i am more suspicous that it is packard PASSENGER CAR converted for fire fighting service. NOT an uncommon practice during the PREwar era. Quite common n fact.

Very likely the trans updated to some modern trans with side levers and the side lever linkage is incorrectly assembled.
