fxfymn Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Randy, You really need this. Never miss a work day because of snow. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1962-FWD-Firetruck-Custom-dually-Pick-up-truck-/272773859228?hash=item3f8296c79c:g:7RYAAOSw40pZdJbI&vxp=mtr I think I have pics of this rig before it was "customized". 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

I know that Unity once had a 1958 Mack "B" model pumper, one of the many 1950s and '60s Long Island Macks that flooded NH, VT, and ME in the '70s. I never heard that they had an FWD. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 That is a very unfortunate ending for the FWD! 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogboy Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I just saw the last photo that shows the FWD when it was complete. The decal on the door looks just like the decals on some of Unity, NH's old trucks (not the Mack). Different looking engine. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1958 F.W.D. Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 This is all over the firetruck and SPAAMFAA groups on Facebook. I would like to find the azzhole and kick him in the nuts until he spits blood, and then 10 more times for good measure.

1958 F.W.D. Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) And that's a dual carb F817G Wauky, too. About a mile per gallon. Edited July 25, 2017 by 1958 F.W.D. Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl, normally I would be like "Meh....it' s your truck and your money......" But not only did this guy carve up a pretty rare FWD (FWD Firetrucks with custom canopy cabs are extremely rare) he did a sloppy job of if, AND he is trying to sell it for $10,000 too much. He deserves to have a 2x4 broken across his head. 3 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loadstar Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 She definitely was a unique truck ..... the difference in paint between the cab and the body in the stock photo seems odd.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
