Hey Guys,
Just a FYI, the 1966 AM Gerneral Brush Truck pictured above is now serving very well as a first out brush truck for Hamilton, TX Volunteer Fire Department as unit 308, and it looks GREAT. I will try to get some pics downloaded this week of it.

Hey Guys,

I have what I believe to be a roof monitor for a M530C that I'd like to part with. No pics at the moment, but PM me if interested. BTW, it's big and heavy.

I did not post our truck on here because it was not originally a fire apparatus and thought you guys might be getting tired of seeing it on here. But after a request from a fellow member, i feel honored to show you the specs.

O.K. all you owners of military fire trucks- what were they, red or olive drab, while in military use?
Inquiring minds, want to know.

FrankUSMC

Both...
I was in Crash Crew for most of my 20 years in the Marines. Air station crash trucks were red, and deployable ones were green. I have early Viet Nam photos, and the crash trucks were red in the photos. One of my fire trucks (a 1944 FFN-3, International M3-4) that has MWSG 27 on it, and that is a deployable unit, but she is painted red.

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the quick reply. That's a nice truck you have. As for my answer, while an O-11, being a crash truck, is red. An M-530 would be green. A 530 with the water canon- would that be considered (or used as) a crash truck, or deployable, or both? Boomer
