My dad and I are thinking about buying a 1962 GMC 4000 Van Pelt fire engine from the local university surplus program. I'm in community college getting my A.S. in Fire Technology and I'm gonna be a firefighter like by grandpa. I can't find any info., what do you think it weighs and are there any things to look for when inspecting? We're hoping to get this on Tuesday. Any info would be appreciated and I'll update you guys when I see the truck. hope the link works http://www.ucsc.edu/matman/SurplusPictures/fire%20truck.jpg
