Love this thread, by the way!

I love these trucks. Here in my town there is a conservation headquarters that holds auctions ever so often selling off these old trucks. It's been several years since they had one but at the time I didn't have the money to buy any of them.

This is the truck that I bid on from a fire distributer in Ohio...After I won it ,,he wanted more and I did not get it....Any info on the whereabouts of this one ???????

old Chevy guy · 02-17-2012, 02:38 AM

Love this thread also! would love to have some of these vehicles after they are retired,low miles,well mantained,garaged. I took this picture in Connecticut when we were taking a emergency vehicle drivers instructors course a few years ago. Seems to fit into the theme of things !

cam.man67 · 02-17-2012, 08:28 AM

How 'bout some more?

Jeremy,I remember when you posted this truck's auction and all that. That was a bad deal with that. That's where I got the pictures and I'd like to know where that truck went,too.

I posted a brush fire rig thread in the 4wd message board last year or so for pictures of 4wd GM fire apparatus. I think all years are cool,but this is a 67-72 thread,so let's keep it that way,alright?

I see some nice stuff so far. Some are ones I was planning on showing,so I'll try not to repeat! Some real nice once I never saw,too. I'll hold off on saving those to make sure I don't show'em again.

Ding ding ding...wrrr WRRR WRRR!!! HONK HONK!!!

Wow! Is that still in service? That's straight up the western county line from me just east of Emmittsburg by the PA/MD line. Looks like they modified the rear of the bed.

Here's a conversation piece:

sneezys72 · 02-17-2012, 03:29 PM

These are cool. I am a Firefighter and we don't have anything as cool as these. Ours are too new to be that cool. Thank you for this post!!

**special-K** · 02-17-2012, 03:52 PM

Thanks for being a fireman. It's pretty cool,around here when many of the old FDs built new facilities they built lobbies with big windows to display vintage fire apparatus,much older than these trucks. The Mount Airy "Volunteers" have an old '39s truck that I can't recall is. The VFD owns a carnival grounds and the last night of the carnival is a parade through town they've had for years. It's just a small town and companies from all over,even neighboring states all turn out to show their pride and joys. I always thought it would be coo to have a show.

That's just wrong. That's like giving a candy bar to a little kid and taking it back from him.
