The m43 I just bought came from a hunting camp Via a Vermont Fire Dept. Don't know who bought it from the fire Dept but it stayed in the state till recently. I work for a Fire Dept in RI and us and the Highway Dept get trucks from the Government. Recently there was a big scandal because Highway Dept "aquired" our M880 that was supposed to be a brush truck. They threatened to reposses all the towns surplus trucks. Forced us to paint the m880 red and mark it for Fire Dept.
