AOC and her pack of rabid blankity blanks can leave even if it don't offend them!!!    

Please remember this is a site about trucks.  Let’s keep the discussion about trucks and leave the political discussion for another page.  Thanks. Mike. 

Get ahold of Kevin All at All Macks.   He had L Model parts and might have what you need. Mike.

Glad to see see that truck is in good hands Yarnall! Last time I saw it was at Macungie a few years back, I always wondered who the owner was. And awesome truck to say the least...

Thanks. It could be in better hands, but it is mine for now.  It needs someone with very deep pockets. 

The AC pumper is mine.  It is spending the year in the Harrisburg Fire Museum.  Hopefully I’ll have a new built by the time I bring it home.  Mike. 

“This truck donated by: Republic Services”. It’s not leaving.  They are a great addition to the collection.   

Welcome. To the forum.  I agree it might be a B46.  I have one with an aluminum hood.   As was said, the concave cab is a negative to most people.  I think they are neat.  You better be skinny though.  Tough to give a value but I would not pay $3500 for it.  We paid $440 for ours but it is in much worse shape.  Definitely get the serial number off the frame. 

Mike. 

Good work, Sarkis.  It really looks nice. 

My father has an early 70’s single axle R chassis on springs that he would likely sell.  He gave the axle shafts away.  The rear is likely no good so you could put air under it with no regrets.  Mike. 

I was thinking that was Radnor’s truck.  That’s nice. I don’t remember seeing it. 

If this is the same as the Rosemont parade my parents were there in their Superliner.   Mike. 

I paid $120 for one in similar shape at an auction.  I didn’t need it but I figured that was cheap enough.  One has been advertised for many months for a couple thousand and has not sold.  Mike. 

Good work.  I’d like to know what a tank like that would cost. I paid $1000 for a good use one and was glad to find it but would have liked to pay less.  Yours looks nicer.    Mike. 

This one lived all it’s working life on CA. RL712LST.   

Mike. 

Rob.  I sent you a message. Mike 

I assume it is different than what a 1973 R685 would take.  If not I am interested.   Mike. 

I bought one off Kevin All.  Look him up if you can’t find one. Mike

Seems to me as big sorry of converting that glider into a truck. Plenty of trucks down the street but an untouched glider isn't a thing you see every day.

Sure job and history are dfferent fields to play a game.

 

The person making converting glider into a working truck is the same person who cut up the first R model fire truck.  Michael.

I wouldn’t think it is worth more than $1500 no matter what it is.   If the engine is stuck it is worth way less.    I think it is worth saving though.  Unfortunately a whole truck in that kind of shape sometimes will not even bring scrap price.  It might be worth more than scrap price in parts. If it would turn out to be something unusual it could be worth more.  You should try posting it on the SPAAMFAA Facebook page.  Good Luck.  Mike. 

Watts has had a two for one Christmas special the past several years.  I bought a set and they look good.  Mike.

I last heard it was a tribute rig. Maybe though, if it was that’d make it even more spectacular that they parked us next to it.

I believe the original is in the LA fire museum. 

It was marked as sold on a Facebook group.  I guess not. 

We need a little more information.  Are you buying or selling?  Insurance value?  What model is it ?  What condition?  And pictures would help a lot.  Thanks Mike. 

I have one on my ‘29 Chevy coupe and my ‘79 Nova.  I believe Fisher body company was bought by GM sometime in the ‘20’s. 

My father says he’s going tubeless. Thanks anyway.
