More of FT #2

This unit is only 2wd, however. Has 16ply tires. Central command control. Unit came from a Colorado city.

Fire Truck #2

This unit has a 3208 Cat, 250 hp engine, with 643 Allison transmission. Has very good pickup speed, can cruise 70+ mph. It has good handling and can seat three in the cab and at least three behind the cab. Has good pump capacity and a new 1,000 gallon fiberglass tank.

Front Mounted pump for our current pumper

This unit is similar to the pump we would be replacing if we decided to continue with the repairs. Cost of this unit is around $25,000, plus repairs needed to rebuild the drive shaft and the radiator.

Still more of FT #1

These are the last group taken of this unit.

More of Fire Truck #1

Tires are in very good condition. Equipment maintenance appears to be performed and everything in good working order. Truck has 4x4 drive with high and low gear settings. Again, click on comments icon to post comments. Only drawback from my perspective might be the lack of power to get to higher speeds quickly, but our test drive ran up around 65+ mph.
