These are available for sale in San Antonio to Texas Fire Departments / Govt Agencies only:
The A2 with the winch is $3500
The other two A2's are $300 each
The Tan A3 is $1275
The other Two A3's are $7000 and $8000
The pricing makes no sense... They have around 15 A2's and 6 A3's currently listed in San Antonio, the cheapest A2 was $200, the most expensive was $3500. The cheapest A3 was $1275, the highest was $8000, and some of those had all flat tires.
They also have four new/rebuilt complete LDT-465-1D engines in the shipping containers for $600 each,
The Fort Worth Yard also has a lot of trucks available.
What kind of A2 type tanker truck is the last picture? are they baffled?

Pricing is what the agency had to pay to get the truck moved to the site plus some admin costs. This is at the SA Akerman Rd yard, correct?
Yes, Ackerman Road,
We just found out about this from our Emergency Management Coordinator and are supposed to set-up an appointment and drive up there.
We had been getting our deuces from the Texas Forest Service, Some of the local Vol Fire departments ( including ourselves ) would like to look into getting A3's, but for some reason the Texas Forest Service can't get them for us....

The "agency" is the Texas Building and Procurement Commission, any TX non-profit can draw from them. About twice a year the leftovers get auctioned to the public on GSA. This agency used to be called "State Surplus". Each state has an equivalent.

Thanks for the info, Why we didn't find out about this before now baffles me, I've bugged our Forest Service rep for a while now about buying trucks without having to go through GL, and he had no clue.

We have gotten alot of different trucks from our "surplus" to use until we don't need or want them anymore. From m880s to 1008s to a tanker even a gama goat. We currently have an 813,35a2 and a a3. Not sure how other states are doing it but our a3 was given to us and when it was ready to be put in service we got the title.

FYI All fire departments can get trucks from the Federal Excess Property Program if your state forestry dept is part of the system. These trucks are free from the Feds. On loan. My department has a 5 ton a 2 1/2 ton a tractor a 20 ton lowbed and 9 Generators 5k to 60 K oh yea and 2 5/4 tons this stuff was in great shape ready to roll when we got it. The duece was built in to forest fire unit as was the 5 ton tractor is used to pull lowbed (Looking for dozer) also have 8 600 gallon fuel pods that we use as water tanks on the trucks and 2 on trailers. Ask your state forest people about these trucks good luck
