Fire Department Deuce

Here is my fire departments duece. It was a troop transport in a former life. We took a fuel tanker body and added it onto the chassis. It worked perfectly so we could have a hose bed between the cab and tank. We got lucky on it as our state forestry was moving their shops and told to fire departments to come and look at the lot and just put your name on a vehicle if you wanted it.(They threw the waiting list out just for the move) Well it is a 1977 model from Anniston,Al and it had 200 miles on it and 12 hrs on the motor. It came straight from a warehouse and still had all the hardware boxed and strapped in the bed.

Welcome to SS,...nice looking conversion so far.

Any pics of the truck before the work, or any pics of the hardware as it was stowed?

Good looking rig!

We didnt get any pictures when we did the conversion back in 96-97. We have completed the rig and it is used as our second out tanker and heavy brush unit. It has a 300 gpm gorman-rupp pto pump.

Musta been an M36A2 with that wheelbase unless you put it in the frame stretcher. Nice looking truck Chief!

No cutting to lengthen, but we did chop it at the very rear.

Thats a pretty nice looking truck!

Is it strictly a brush truck or is it a tanker?

We run it as both. It is our second out tanker. It has a newton 10" dump on the rear.

It'd be cool if you got some video to post here of it running down the road with the lights and siren on.
