Don't you need one in case your smoker gets out of hand? Seems to me that your island could use more fire support.

That won't work... I bought this one from a scrapper last year and sold it over the winter. She wouldn't believe me about a second one. Yeah, that pig roaster puts out a lot of heat in August.

A bargain at any price! Fire trucks usually have low miles on 'em.

We all know too well how much it would cost to do the work to bring everything back to the 5000 mile wear mark. About 30 grand and I'm not kidding. That is an AWESOME truck you bought. You keeping it as a fire engine, or converting to something else? I would love to do one as a wrecker. Not sure why, maybe to haul home more rolling piles of misery.

Seems I recall a skid loader "helping" that tonner panel "roll"!

Last M-H p.o.s. I hauled home was stuck in gear. Loaded it with a D3 Cat. Thankfully disconnected the rear shaft and could winch it off. Buying the fire engine in such great shape is huge repair/restoration "cost avoidance". Stu

Why did you have to show that dual wheeled 1 1/2 ton panel? Is it for sale? Of course it would be out of the question for me.
