I wouldn't mind owning an old fire/crash truck.
It's a shame more of them aren't auctioned on GL/GSA/eBay...

Anything goes in WI, as long as it ain't got tracks.This is why I LOVE the TEXAS FORMER MILITARY VEHICLE LAWS....
ANY Former Military Vehicle, from ANY country, shall be issued a TxFMV Registration REGARDLESS of SIZE or WEIGHT
Of course, just 'cause it's registered, doesn't mean you don't need PERMITS to move it

You could always put a rear door on the tank and call it a camper.

Looks like a fun truck to me but I don't know about it being a "poor man's HEMTT", feeding and maintaining that beast would be anything but cheap. That said, I've been accused of being . . . ER . . . well,

Dirt cheap honestly. Trashed/damaged HEMTT's can bring 20k easy.
I'd love to buy it and strip the fire gear off and use the second engine to power the rear tandems.
That said it's definitely a specialty vehicle that has special and expensive needs.
Like that Stewart Stevenson airplane tug a few weeks back ( maybe a month?) dang thing brought BIG money! But the average person can't do anything with it really.
