I hope the siren works or I wouldn't pay

Looks pretty sweet, probably the only one on your block, I'd guess.

Way cool ride. Out here it would be the hit of the parade curcuit. Always like the size of the cabs in those things. Room for even the grand kids. Have fun with it.

We have a '69 Ford cabover like that. There are many parts you can't get new. You can't get any of the air brake parts new, the shift linkage usually gets alot of slop in the mechanism that can't easily be fixed and I don't think you can get a new hydralic clutch cylinder. Our truck only has 92 000 miles and it needs all that stuff and your fire engine has 124 000 miles. Good luke with your truck.
