M135 Fire Truck

[battlecr]

I normally hang out on the Armor forum but the weather finally turned hot thought I'd better get the Fire Truck out of the barn. This M135 was modified by some pretty talanted millwrights. Was a first out engine in the 60's and 70's retired as a Brush Rig. I bought it sealed bid for a really good price

1000 gallon tank, 250gpm pump. Starts and runs like a dream. Still has the Civil defense stickers on the sides.

Nice looking rig you have there I'd love to find something like that in my neck of the woods.

Thanks, I actually like driving the 135 better then my M36A2. It's quieter and it drives better. It's more comfortable too. I put the spray bar on the front so I can water my roads. It gets it out and gets it some exersize. Can't afford to liecense it except during the summer.

That is one of a kind and on my bucket list of G749's, thanks for sharing.

How much water does she carry?

If you get a chance slide a photo over to the picture thread and we'll put them all together.
