Fire & Rescue Picture Thread

[DeadheadNM]

Here's one (not mine) awesome pic posted to the K5 forum. Anaheim, PD - Is that a young Ron Burgundy?!

[70Firetruck]

Here is my x fire. Picked this up from a local gov auction that I flip cars from. I was gonna sell it originally, but its too cool to let go. I pulled the springs out and threw some bags in it until it gets the full PB treatment.

OK, enough whoring my truck out.

[K20chevy]

Very nice trucks!

Brought this home this weekend.

Hers's my '71 Jimmy "play-actin' " the part of a rescue rig on the set of "The Kingdom" in Mesa, 2006. I was working as Set Medic for the propmakers [carps].
Fake plastic Saudi license plate. Red Crescent on one of the ambulances before the explosions. Small compact ricegrinder embedded into the 2nd floor of Base Housing type structure after the ''terrorists'' blew it all up. Shot in Mesa, AZ since going to the actual Riyadh, Saudi Arabia wasn't considered safe. Much cooler, too. Only 118* F in Mesa.

That's a good one. It may have mailbox stickers rather than gold leaf, but it's got the good accessories like dual spots, grille guard, and wheels (and no lights mounted on roof). looks like that tank put a hurtin' on those springs over the years. Imagine that

I like it. White front bumper with white 16.5" steelies really flow. IMO, a long bed stepside with matching original paint would be perfect.

[special-K]

That's what I meant, it was a real ambulance, not a movie one. It surely deserves a spot in this thread

[68SWCST]

Been drooling over this one for about 25 years now.

[wreckedchevy]

here's one of a buddies of mine it was originally an ambulance for Sturgis, SD he's had it for a long time now just sitting there waiting for it's turn on craigslist.

Hey I drove thru Davenport Wa this weekend!

[Tango59]

In the early 80s I was an EMT and worked full-time in an 85 C20 Box ambulance and part-time worked rescue at a racetrack out of a 70 Suburban. Good times.

Tango: Did you ever see "Mother, Jugs, and Speed"? Bill Cosby, Raquel Welch and Harvey Keitel working for a fly-by-night private service provider. (1976).
I got my EMT Basic in 1980. It was a different world then.

[68 50th]

Here's one that was for sale here in Sweden. I was tempted but never went to look at it.
It appears to be built on a pickup and not a Suburban or panel, at least it has pickup doors.

[Sicklajoie]

Here's one from Vermont that used to be a fire truck and he restored it to a work truck. It was featured in Hemmings Classic Car a few months ago

[Lees68GMC]

Us old retired FFs love this thread, although some of my GM fire trucks weren't that old, many were antiques still in service like our American LaFrance and Seagraves, but fun. When we complained our old engine 83 was slow the Chief Fire Mechanics response was put in a big cam and headers on the small block, hilarious! 1 ton dually Fire Truck with big lumpy cam. Always drew funny looks.

[wreckedchevy]

I just googled chevy fire truck and found this one

I saw this on Ebay... Did you just buy this??

[1970 Panama Red]

Hello. I built it. I have had it for sale on and off for awhile. Very little interest believe it or not. I have owned it on and off for years. It keeps coming back, like herpes, but much more pleasant.

[sboris]

[special-K]

Has it been over 5 years since a truck has been shown? I have these light trucks on my newer laptop. First one belongs to a member here and I'm not sure who. It's a NAPCO. EDIT: I removed that picture because it is shown above by Blazerman... yellow flatbed

There is Fire Equipment picture thread in "Heavy Haulers" for various year trucks. This one was started to show 67-72 trucks

The other thread. Lots of fire Trucks: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...gency+euipment Enjoy!
