70's? Dodge Fire truck and 40's ? Panel Truck for sale out by the ranch with pictures.

[SteveSS]

I'm not into fire trucks or 40's panel trucks but I thought you might be. I don't know any more than what the pictures show.

Now that panel truck has patina out the wazoo!

 

[SteveSS]

I looked it up. The Tee Cross Ranch is historically famous. It's between Colorado Springs and Pueblo. I think a lot of it has been sold off for homes but it's still 3500 acres. They are famous for their top-of-the-line Quarter Horses.

That fire truck is a "working" truck for sure.

300 series 4x4 dualy manual trans.

Looks like it might have a military power wagon bed on it.

You can certainly see the bed wheel wells don't line up with the rear axle so that military bed idea is probably correct. I did speak to the owner's wife for a minute. She said the odometer showed 30K miles. Who knows what that really means? Inside the bed there was a hose on a reel, a pump, and a water tank that wasn't very big. That truck could have handled 10X that weight. Like most things here, rust isn't a problem.

Fire trucks are generally judged by hours rather than miles. The Pierce logo is interesting. They're the #2 manufacturer of fire apparatus in the world - headquartered in Appleton, WI. I wonder if it came from there or if someone just slapped that on there. More likely the latter. Neat trucks, both.

We get a ton of used Forest Service trucks around here. They get dumped into the civilian market from the National Parks.
