fxfymn Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I wish them well, but used ladders are as popular as a Pinto at a demolition derby. Most sell for little mare than scrap value.

BillyT Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Fxfymn, the truck chassis itself (minus the fire equipment )would make a great hobby truck! ,Think an LJ roadster p.u! But what a shame to destroy such a piece of history! Great unit for a parade! Compare the price for almost any 60s or 70s junk car to one of these finely crafted pieces of equipment! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call Detroit; they are still running those and are always looking for parts trucks.

Freightrain Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I sometimes imagined a convertible cab for my truck. Going to the races with the top open? Sounds like fun.........til it rains LOL!! 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
