This old Ford fire truck is in good cosmetic shape and it runs well. The tires are in reasonable shape and it can be driven away. Fire functions, such as pumps have not been checked out. The hoses on the truck are very limited (perhaps incomplete). It would serve well for collectors, use in parades, memorials, or perhaps use in schools. This was acquired by this organization, and originally intended for service in a third world type of environment. This became cost prohibitive, so we are putting it up for sale on the open market. This is offered for local pickup only.
This truck comes with two complete copies of the “HOWE” FIRE TRUCK OPERATION MAITENANCE AND SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS.
