Here’s a very low mileage 1968 Ford fire truck. It has only about 11,000 miles on it. Imagine what this fellow told his wife when he brought this home (I hate to think of what she might have said in response)! It must have been a real bargain and he’s lucky to have such a huge barn. It seems to be time to move it on to a new home. All the ladders and equipment are included. As I recall, many fairly new fire trucks were taken out of service in the 1980’s because of new regulations requiring air brakes. It wasn’t economically feasible to convert many trucks with hydraulic brakes, so some were shipped to South America and elsewhere, while others were converted for other uses, parted out and scrapped, or put into storage. This is a lot of vehicle for only $3500, but what could you do with it? One fellow I know of bought one to use in his marina. He moves boats with it and when he pulls boats out of the water he hoses them off right on the ramp. Does anyone have any other ideas? I believe anything over 10k pounds has to have air brakes now if it’s used commercially, so this really limits this truck’s use for businesses. If you have a good idea for it, you can find it here on craigslist. Thanks to Robert R for this huge find!





Oh and what sort of Pontiac is that to the right of the truck?
