I pulled the air filter late last night and it was dirtier than my initial thought. It was also the napa filter which I read has quite a bit less flow than the mil spec. So today I ordered air, oil and fuel filters. Compressor wrenches and the alternator kit. I will also be doing the FDC...

Payday is tomorrow. So I need to figure out my priority of spending. The generator is throwing out 38 volts so I'm thinking alternator swap before I boil my brand new group 31's. Luckily between my work discount and buddy discount who is a district manage at napa I can get filters on the cheap...

Title shows PO bought it about a year ago. Definitely ran better by the time I got it home after 40 miles, fresh diesel and half a gallon of howes. Pretty sure it sat the whole time. He ran a museum and has 40+ military vehicles.

Yes it reaches 2500. I planned on doing filter and fluid changes next paycheck.

First off I know these things are slow. However I think mine might possibly be underperforming. Based on videos I've seen and other trucks in person mine seems to be a real dog compared to them. It's a 1972 non-turbo fire truck. On flat ground 40-45 is the most I can get out of it and 45 takes...

Got back up there today for the purchase. Truck fired up 3rd crank, good oil pressure, air pressure, brakes feel good, lights work, heater works, wipers work. Get to drive it home tomorrow, while the wipers work the blades are shot and it was pouring rain. Seller threw in a set of solid fenders...

I may try to post it for sale first, BUT before it was parked it had a full service and all new brakes so it will definitely be a good base and less hassle than buying a different truck and having to tear through it. Plus the price is right

So I am getting the fire truck and a cargo bed to put on it. The rest of the trucks in the pics/vids is for sale including the M42 duster, I can put anyone interested in contact with the seller

As far as I know only the stuff outside is for sale. I'll have to ask though next time I am out there if I pick up this fire truck

Its a C model

Mostly money. He wants a lot more for the other trucks, more than I can spend right now. The rest of his M35's are also A3's and I want an A2.

Here's the video. This is just the front lot, there's more stuff out back that I didn't film

Here's a few pics I took inside the shop. I have some videos showing all the trucks outside but I'll probably have to upload to YouTube first so I can share.

I'm told it does. The guy who has it owns over 20 trucks (deuces, 5 tons, ambulances, jeeps an m42 duster and other various vehicles that I have no clue about. I was told all his trucks are started at least once or twice a year. If I can settle on a price I'll be back up with batteries to see if...

Do these sit lower than an M35A2?? Doesn't seem as tall as others I've seen in pictures
