Looking To Donate Our Old Firetruck To Museum

My department is looking to donate our original fire truck to a museum or maybe to the collector in orange county. I don't know his name though. It needs work so any ideas to who I can contact that would be great.

The gentleman's name is Andy Leider. He has a warehouse full of apparatus he hopes to turn into a museum soon. The Catskill Firecats recently held a muster there.

You might be able to get his contact info via the Catskill Firecats website: http://www.catskillfire-cats.com/

If you can get some pics of it, and/or some more info, I'll run it past him next time I see him. I know he was cutting down on purchasing/acquiring for a while, mainly due to running low on space, but if the right piece comes along, he takes it anyway.
