Well I had been looking for a SWB Big Block truck. All my truck are original(pre54) and I want a hot rod. So I figured I would buy a factory built hot rod.
The firetruck was pulled out of service recently. One of the volunteers on the dept. towed it to Hot August Nights in Reno. (Probably an excuse to get a free room and beer). I was there looking for trucks but did not see it, a buddy told me about it. So I called and emailed. The truck was still for sale. I hopped on the Harley and took a great ride thru the mountains to see it about 150 miles away. It was way better than I even thought. Made an offer, which was accepted after about a week of going thru the bureaucracy. A week later I drove up and towed it home.
