FT-500 Deuce and a half Fire Truck 530B Model Wanted!!! Gotta Have It!!!! - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

Been working on getting my deuce and a half fire truck functional, and that means running reliably, shooting water like it should and of course, sirens and lights doing their thing! Now a neighbor tells me that he remembers seeing a model (don't know the scale) somebody made of this truck. Of course, he cannot remember the brand, nor how long ago it was since he saw it. He is certain that he saw it and that it was a scale model of specifically my model fire truck. I figure that if it exists, some of our readers had to have seen it. I really would like to have it sitting in my living room... since my better half will not hear of me having the real thing there... -

Anyway, thanks for the help. Any heads up would be greatly appreciated... Godspeed

Thanks, that is one beauty of a truck. Love the color.

Engine5 thank you for the compliment!!! She is a sweetheart... Right now I have a friend that has a powder coating shop doing the front bumper, winch and some of the siren stuff in black. Funny, she is a handful and a half to drive with her tank full, but after it is all said and done, you cannot help but smile or chuckle... she is a blast... If you are down the the South Florida area, I would be glad to let you take her for a spin.

Hi Scooter,
Nice 530 B rig you have. It's good to know there is one more out there. I had a prior post, as to how many of them were out there, as I was talking to another collector who has one. Thanks for putting on some photos. We need to see some more, when you get everything back on.

Not to hijack, but do you have any more pics of the yellow bronco in the background?

I like the paintjob on that duece, our dept just got a m35a3 and i several of us wanted to paint it red with a black top like yours. Instead its going to be all red with black bumpers, steps, fuel tank and roll cage.

Also how much water does that tank hold?

scootertrs · 10-13-2009, 00:43

about 400 gal of water and 40 of foam solutio... just enough to make real mess...-

Have Fun

Your welcome, on both. It's good to know the M series you have.
