In the condition it's in now, not running and broken pump, what would you be buying? Even if the cab is 100% rust free and you wanted to use it on another project you would have to do a lot of body work to fill all of the holes. I bet the inside of the cab has a ton of unwanted holes to deal with as well.

I be suprised if it sold for anything more than scrap ($1,000 or less should buy it). The front axle and transfer case are about all that are worth anything. If you take the truck apart the fire body is worthless. Nobody builds a fire truck from scratch, there would be no "history" to go with it and missing parts would be very hard to find.

Thanks again for sharing the picture!

mike, i know it has the standard hood on it. but the GMC lcf's had a butterfly type door on the side of the front ends. it wasnt a true butterfly, like on my '38 chrysler, because it didnt hinge in the middle. but it had cute little trap doors that made it alot easier to get access to the motor compartment.

didnt figure the rest of it being worth much. as far as holes go, all that needs to be filled is where the skirt that attaches the cab to the bed is screwed to it.

he wanted 2k for it back when scrap was high last year. no way i can pay that for it now. i've heard from another buddy of mine he still has my number setting on his desk, so maybe one day he will need some cash and give me a ring.
