I bid on one near me in NJ, it sold for about $9500.
This one was a 65 model WM300 and had a custom fire
stuff built into the bed. It had hoses, water
storage tank etc. It was a very cute truck, had
about 10,000 miles and ran very well. Fire trucks
are not worth what a similar condition pickup is,
but they often are in remarkably solid condition.
Not sure about yours, but I would guess value is in
the range of $5000...more if it runs or could be
made to run easily. Converting them back to non-fire
status may be more expensive than it looks. They
often drilled a lot of holes to mount stuff, you
may need a new box etc. If it is good looking in
its current form, I would probably leave it like
that. Good luck, let us know if you get it.
