past forum fire truck posts and links..

..in an attempt to put all things' Military Fire Trucks ' in one thread, I searched thru the forums (all 645 articles and numerous posts associated) using 'fire truck' as a search word. Here are the links I found (hopefully no dupes..), sorry if I forgot some..if you don't see something listed, check above this message in the thread, chances are its been posted already..some that were posted prior to 1 Sept 2005 are gone due to the old forum crashing..Feel free to post pic's and links if you still have them or I have missed some..:

1961 deuce fire truck..

ebay auction ended...top bid $3500.00

Title: 1961 Hcarr Military Fire Truck 6x6 -Vintage- STK#148607

Mileage: 10,486 miles

Location: Santa Paula, California

Description:
Up for auction is a 1961 Hcarr Military Grade Fire Truck 6X6, STK#148607. This Fire Truck has been inspected by our mechanics and was found to be running and driving; however, due to the nature of vehicles this age, it is for restoration or display purposes only and MUST be towed off our lot on a flat bed truck. There may be other mechanical issues that we are not aware of. This Fire Truck with a proper restoration would be great for large, or small, town parades. It would also make a great show piece for your personal collection. We are not familiar with these types of vehicles so we have no way of testing on the fire fighting equipment. We can say though that there is a fair amount of what appears to be new hoses on the top of the truck – please see pictures below – This truck has the potential to be a great example of an early 60s fire truck. The registration for this vehicle expired 12/99 and it is currently registered Planned Non-Op. There are back fees in the estimated amount of $3,765. This truck will come with a Complete Lien Sale Packet and a Bill of Sale. If you are an out of state bidder please contact your local DMV about registering an out of state vehicle with a Lien Sale Packet.
