Our little Army Air Field museum out in western Nebraska has one of the original fire trucks assigned to the field and one of the big aircraft recovery trucks that showed up around the time the B-29s started training there. The fire truck we have is the little Ford second from the right in this photo:
The big unit on the left of the photo was the crash truck that was assigned to all 2AF B-29 fields in '44.

Saw this fine example at the Barksdale AFB Open House a couple of years ago.
Not exactly vintage but will be someday...

An interest in Crash trucks just seems to go with an interest in aviation. A few I have taken at various locations:
