i wonder if any one will buy it? it doesn't look in to bad of shape.

That rig looks pretty complete. A great truck to reassemble or totaly restore. If all the parts are there it would be a good buy. I hope it finds a good home.

Would be a great antique for Valhalla with some TLC.

[Guest]

that would be great if the indepentant co. (ladder and rescue co.) could buy it, but there is no place to store it, whether a co. or district building.

off the topic...valhalla engine co. still has there 1953ish engine...it's considered retired, but i think it transported man power one or twice last year.

Ccould be a very nice truck with TLC.

She (the seller) sounds like a beeeoch that is pissed off at her husband.

Wow, I just read her Ebay comments, what a nasty person. If she doesn't get her money, it goes to the scrap yard, and she refuses to donate it or sell it at a low cost to a museum or charitable orginization.

I understand she may need the money, but how much will this thing bring in at the scrap yard?

west coast metal scrap from auto's is currently $172. a ton, nowhere near 6000.00 for the truck.
