Thank you, all, for the kind compliments. Here are the final details.
The real truck was built for the Neshanic, New Jersey Volunteer Fire Company. It now resides in the U.K.
Except for a couple of minor details, it's finished. I don't have the skill or the software to tackle the lettering. This is the most difficult homemade cardboard model I have ever built.
Hose stacks and rubber hoses on the side. There will be a lot of picky-tedious details on this model. The model is about 1/24th size (about 13 inches long).
