The electrical system has been converted to 12 volts and an electric radiator fan has been fitted. The 309ci Buick-sourced inline-six was rebuilt during the refurbishment and was factory rated at 89.5 horsepower at 2,500-rpm, which is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a differential with 6.57:1 gearing, which the seller reports limits top speed to around 35-mph. The rear cargo area features a diamond-plate floor and houses a fire hose, two helmets, and four pairs of boots, all of which are included in the sale along with an Indian backpack water pump. A trio of aftermarket Sunpro gauges mounted underneath the dash monitor voltage, coolant temperature, and oil pressure, and the five-digit odometer shows just under 15k miles, around 50 of which have been added during current ownership. Amenities include an analog clock as well as a metal basket mounted behind the seat.Ī five-spoke steering wheel with an aftermarket lace-up covering sits ahead of a red-painted metal dashboard housing a modern control panel as well as a 80-mph barrel-type speedometer and combination gauges. The cockpit features a single bench seat upholstered in black vinyl along with a diamond-plate covering on the floor. Braking is through drums at all four corners. The truck rides on a 164” wheelbase and features six 20” red-painted steel wheels mounted with Denman tires. The vehicle is not equipped with turn signals. Firefighting equipment consists of an onboard water pump, two side-mounted ladders and three hoses, multiple axes and fire extinguishers, and various nozzles and hose gates. Metal diamond-plate coverings have been applied to the running boards and rear platform, and additional features include a polished radiator surround, front bumper, and bell, as well as a driver’s side-view mirror, a spotlight, red beacon lights, and a front fender-mounted siren. The cab, bed, and fenders were removed from the frame and repainted red during the refurbishment.
