THIS WOULD BE PERFECT FOR IN PLANT USE OR AS A PARADE VEHICLE, T IS NOT "STREET LEGAL" AS IT DOES NOT HAVE SIGNAL LIGHTS/TAIL LIGHTS.
THE FIRE TRUCK IS JUST 50 INCHES WIDE- IT IS APROX 7 FEET TALL- APROX 15 FEET LONG- WE'RE GUESSING IT WEIGHS 5,000 POUNDS OR SO DRY- THE TRANSMISSION IS A 3 SPEED W/1 REVERSE SPEED- MULTI-LEAF SPRING SUSPENSION- IT WILL NEED A TUNEUP AT SOME POINT.
WE CHARGED THE BATTERY AND AS USUAL IT STARTS RIGHT UP, E HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT OUT OF THE SHOP FOR A FEW YEARS BUT IT MOVES AROUND AS IT SHOULD. THE MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED WITH AN ELECTRIC SEVERAL YEARS AGO BECAUSE WE COULD NOT FIND A MECHANICAL LOCALLY.
IT WAS TRANSPORTED FROM ILLINOIS TO ARKANSAS ON A STANDARD 16 FOOT DUAL AXLE UTILITY TRAILER PULLED BY A HALF TON PICKUP.
WE CAN ASSIT WITH LOADING, F YOU HAVE A TRAILER IT SHOULD DRIVE RIGHT ON USING YOUR RAMPS.
