I found out about this truck a while back and drove
up to see in MA. He is nice guy and I think the
thing is legit. There are a lot of spare parts, incl some good stuff.
But there is a downside...the truck has been "preserved". He has covered it with a cosmoline-like stuff, put it in the headlights etc. While this was probably a good thing to do since it has been stored outside, it means that there is a lot of work to make this truck look new. It does have a winch and a plow...pretty well done.
It is a great example but still needs a lot of elbow grease to make it look new. It just didn't seem worth the money to me...you could get a low milage fire truck for a lot less, or probably get a nice restoration done on a solid truck for less. He did not seem flexible on the price...I think he worked hard to get this truck and really loves it.
It is a pretty special truck for someone willing to do the work to make it look nice.
