I Think some one posted this truck on here when it was on eBay, but I can't find that post. Anyway I bought this truck after the auction ended, the winning bidder was just trying to run the price up on me but I didn't fall for that it, so I was just going to let it go and see what happened. well what happened is they owner contacted me after the auction and we agreed on a price and the truck is now mine, but its still in NJ, I hope to get it move to Utah soon. Anyway I got some photos from them showing a few more of the details of this truck, so I have posted a page for it on my site:

Jolly's 1965 GMC 3505 Rescue Vehicle

Hope you enjoy the photos and I'll keep you all posted about when it gets moved to Utah.

OK So While I'm waiting for parts to get the alt fixed, which will be next week sometime, i figured I mite as well check out the Onan Electric Plant. I checked the oil and found it overflowing with Fuel, so I changed the oil. I got a scocket out to turn it over with the crank bolt to make sure it was free, and it is. Next I hooked it up to the Rhino for a jump but it would just click, its battery is stone dead, so I made a pull rope and gave it a tug. It started right up on the frist pull. 3 of the 4 flood lights came, so all the swicthes were left on. Now I have one of those flood lights to fix. ~~~> Here is a Poor Quailty Video <~~~
