1953 Ford F-750 fire truck

I have a 1953 Ford fire truck sitting in Chariton, Iowa, and it needs to come to Redmond, Oregon. It is about 1700 miles. It was located in Miles, Iowa, until the 13th of May when a fellow club member picked it up for me. He used a late model Ford F-250 SD with Power Stroke diesel, and a tandem axle gooseneck trailer. He said it seemed a bit too heavy for his truck. It would require at least a F-350 dually, with comparable trailer, or larger. The initial intent was to drive the truck with volunteers from the Ford Truck Enthusiasts club as a relay event spanning the 1700 miles, involving fire departments, car clubs, and media along the way. Investigation into the condition of the truck showed it was not in as good a condition as described by the seller of the truck. I need some help, and I cannot afford to be gouged. The truck runs and drives, but the brakes are in poor condition. The person who is storing the truck for me can be available to help get the truck loaded. He has done a little bit of work to it, and has got it in fair running condition. This truck is a low mile original unit, and care should be taken due to its weight and age.
