It is has a 150 gallon tank, a honda 18 horse power motor, 200 feet of booster reel, 6 indian tanks, 6 rakes, 6 brooms and garden hose. Was given to us by the Pennsylvania Forestry Service.

reminds me of my first vehicle. was a 1977 ex military ex national park service 1977 dodge 1 and 1/4 ton power wagon. I did not get the tank with mine but man for a brush truck that thing was So tough. Kinda miss it now but am glad I don't gotta feed a 1 and 1/4 ton any more.

I hope it serves your dept well for many years.

The tank and pump did not come with the truck. We had to purchase that seperate. I'll tell you it is a beast!

Those are so cool! I'd love to have the front & back end out from under it. Our Forestry Dept has one too...only time I see them using it is to get a biscuit at the drive thru every morning

msgross · 05-06-2008, 08:46 PM

that's cool... you can still purchase these on the gov liquadation website.

I also remember seeing a 69 fire fighting truck on Ebay not long ago...barely had any miles on it...like the mil trucks

Yes very true about the millage. My 77 had 49,000 miles when i got it in 2004

Not to take this thread on a side track but can anybody bid on the gov liquidation site???

Pyrotechnic · 05-06-2008, 11:02 PM

These look so much better with a normal paintjob. Not to knock the military trucks, they look good in action, but on the streets I'd rather have a civilian paintjob.

I would like to second this question!!! and possibly get a link to the site?

msgross · 05-07-2008, 03:40 AM

Sorry to jack your post but here it is http://www.govliquidation.com/

not sure what it takes to bid, search for M1008 to see these trucks.

Nice truck by the way! The military one's have a 6.2 diesel, 4.56 gears, locker in the rear, 14 bolt in the rear and Dana 60 in the front...

rod86 · 05-07-2008, 01:17 PM

nice truck, i love the military trucks... looks tuff.

LowStep79 · 05-07-2008, 02:48 PM

Thanks for the info. When they went to get the truck, they got to pick the one they wanted. So pretty much the best one out of the bunch.

The state gets first pick BEFORE they go to government liquidators. By the time they get there, condition varies . . . I've had 6 of them, great trucks.
