I used to be a volunteer firefighter. I would love to drive any of those!

Lees68GMC · 12-20-2013, 08:20 PM

I Retired 22 years ago, Fire Fighter, Fire Inspector, Arson Investigator. My stuff's probably too New, eh? I'm a Fire relic or is that classic? LOL

**special-K** · 12-20-2013, 10:07 PM

I always wanted to set up a mountain rescue rig,but a li'l brush fire wagon would be cool and right handy out in the boondocks

I showed a picture I took 20+ years ago and one member called it a historic picture. "Hey buddy,who you callin' old??"

I think that's great you're one of the guys who went with one of these trucks. That trumps it being a newer truck. Heck,they're all cool.

Lees68GMC · 12-21-2013, 10:13 AM

Thanks for the kind words "K"

Here's a muddy old photo (sneak another couple in) of my "B" shift crew, Check out our American La France Engine, had a Detroit Triple Nickle, was Fast, but wouldn't stop for a block.

Me and my Grandpa Levi, he was Chief of their Volunteer Dept. in Illinois.

Might have worked for Your "Brush Truck". That was a New Fire Engine to them back in 1956 LOL

Have a Great Christmas! - Lee

Carl Spangler · 01-11-2014, 12:11 AM

Here's a pic of my 71 SWB C10. It spent many years as a volunteer fire truck in NM.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! That thing is amazing! I never head of a K20 Panel. All panels I´ve ever seen were 2WD. So a 4WD panel is awesome, but a 3/4 ton one with manual.. that is even cooler than the K20 truck version! I bet they never made a lot of those!

Damn, now I want that truck!

Thanks for the info and the link! I always loved panels and had the idea to take a K20 PU and use a panel body to make a K20 panel, but a factory one, that is just so much cooler!

**special-K** · 01-12-2014, 09:42 AM

That K/20panelamazes me,too. That's one model that have evaded me,and have had thoughts to build myself. They made very very very few few few! We're talkin' Holy Grail rat cheer!

nutsforchevys · 01-23-2014, 06:47 PM

Here is one that was for sale back in December on Gov deals

burnin oil · 01-24-2014, 01:18 PM

My 72 actually used to look like the 7th picture, the Egypt truck. Only real difference was my winch bumper used the factory 72 bumper with additions to it. It also had a full cage around it. If I can find a pic I will post it up. Mine was an active duty brush truck up until 3 years ago in Petersburg VA. The clutch and brake pedals are still bent apart to make it easier to drive in those big old boots! I had to cut the cage off it to repair sheet metal so I repainted her blue. Ironicaly the truck was originally blue with a white top. I guess she went full circle. I did save the original doors with the FD logos along with the light bar.
