85 Flareside Fire Truck

Rembrant
This would be a cool old truck.

Not sure if the asking price is accurate or not, but as Gary always says, you couldn't build the truck for that much. Super low miles, one owner, and rust free.

That certainly is a cool truck!    And I do think the price is reasonable, although you might be able to get it for $10K.

That is a neat example.  I like the rear fender protectors and would like to see the cab for the lights and radios installation.

It would look great next to that air force pusher posted a couple months back.

I know some of our garages might already look it, but there are some great candidates for working displays as part of a "Bullnose Museum"

Fender protectors are probably from the "laying out" hose over the sides...

Could you make those if there was a demand?
