I`d love to have that thing ! I always wanted an f-600 and make a car carrier.

haha that wrecker is so cool, in such a HORRIBLY UGLY kind of way... I can't figure why ford made it so ugly... but it's awesome because of it... haha

It's funny how the fire truck has that big pump attached to the nose...

There is a local (Mc Donalds type but ALOT better) reasteraunt that has a 65 Slick Fire truck in real nice shape. I may have to try and get some pics of it.

Whoever bought that truck practically stole it. COE trucks are pretty rare. My dad and I have been wanting a 48-50 COE F7 to turn into a car hauler. Only we want to put a 3208 Caterpillar Diesel in it.

When I was a kid, my little home town had one of these COE's with a boom on it's back. My friend's Dad was one of the guys who used it regularly.
One day they were on a muddy job site with the boom extended...suddenly the tires sunk in the mud, causing the truck to lean & boom to contact a nearby power line. It barbecued the two guys on the truck & caught it on fire.
As a curious kid, I had to go check out the burned hulk afterward...pretty nasty.

That's how a bunch of them are, I've noticed. I'm assuming it's so they could run the pump directly off the front snout of the crank. :dontknow:

Here's one from an earlier eGouge auction.

Man! I just noticed that fire truck only has 5,780 miles on it! :shock:

Geez, if I only had somewhere to store that, I'd snap it up in 3 seconds!
