I went in to talk to the owner (was at a guys business) about the possiblity of selling it to me. He said that it may be for sale so I went and took a good look at it. Come to find out this truck is an ex-fire truck tanker with only 6184 miles on it. I've never seen an unrestored A.D. in this clean of a condition, although it will need alot of work mechanically due to sitting all of these years. The guy told me to throw out an offer to get it started and I told him that I didn't want to insult him by low balling him. So, I said $500.00 and the guy never balked like I expected but he also hasn't excepted it yet either. He's going to get back with me with an acceptance or counter offer soon. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one. I really would like to get this one out of the weather and away from the thieves that are picking it apart. Wish I had brought the camera.
Wish me luck,

I took a ride up into, Southern Virginia today, to look at Heavy Duty Dump Trucks, with my brother-in-law. Saw a '47-'50 6400 cab & chassis, sitting beside a barn. Looked pretty decent, but I decided to just buy 400 series, & larger '47-'55 GMC's, from now on. So I talked myself, out of stopping. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | Hmm. I was in Georgia earlier in the week and spotted an old AD farm truck sitting by the highway a few miles south of Macon. Didn't have time to stop, and it sure would not fit in my carry-on...
Too many trucks, too little time...

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,602 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,602 | On my home from Nags Head,NC at about 70 MPH, I saw a old 1951 fire truck just like mine. I turned around to go back and look at it up close. It is a chevy 1950 with Oren firebody. I asked to purchase it but the owner advised it had already been sold! He is just waiting for them to come pick it up. I would love to had that one too.
Looks like one more old stovebolt might get back on the road!
