UT firetruck Deuce's

So did anyone here save the fire truck deuce's in UT. They had a good looking Class 530B on a M44 chassis with the single rear wheels and 2 530C's on M45 chassis. I whish I had the $$ to have gotten them I hope they don't become bobbers or scrap.

Firetrucks in UT? ...... Where?! I looked through all the sources I know (not many) and didn't see any.

They were on GSA. Per the rules I waited untill after they closed to say any thing

Oh I didn't know about that site, I wonder if they will put them back up. I have been lurking here for a while now and as my girlfriend would say, I have a new obsession. I have been looking for a deuce but I cant find any in my area that are in my price range. I was watching the GL auction for a deuce in Nevada but the price climbed pretty quickly.

or
you can also google "utah auctions" and you may find others. Also, get yourself on the mailing lists for whomever handles municipal government auctions in the region you're willing to travel to. Some former MV's are actually owned by them, rather than by Uncle Sam. Our Deuce came from a County VFD, but was owned by the County Government. They sold it through a local sealed bid sale.
