[polara71]

Ohhh that's cool.

 

[detmatt]

And kinda cheap.

 

[azblackhemi]

Only 23,000 miles but probably a lot of hours idling on it. Nevertheless, I love it. Not sure what I'd do with it but if it was local...

I'd buy that thing and start a business where I stayed near it at all times, even sleep next to it. Then I'd put my phone number out there for people to call if they have a fire. I'd show up in that truck and use the water pump to drown fires. Then the callers would pay me for the service. I'd even offer some kind of "pay ahead" program where groups of people could buy the service in advance, maybe I'd send a bill in the winter and fall based on how hard the fire would be to put out, given the size of the house. That's what I would do.

That's similar to what we have here Chris. Subscription fire service. Since we're in an unincorporated area of the county we have no city fire protection. We pay around $400 per year. If you don't subscribe they will still respond and fight the fire or render emergency medical care but will then charge you around $1000 an hour for each truck that responds.

What if you tell them no, don't put it out? Let it burn .
Do they still do it ?

 

[commando1]

Where do you put the 4x8's?

Not sure if that's ever come up Dave. I guess if it's your house on fire or your heart about to bust you'd have the final say. Maybe you want to try and find it cheaper somewhare else?

 

[Mr C]

These guys approve...

That's where I'd step in. Also would offer discount to Mopar people... And let KIAs burn.

And ALL EVs!

 

[cudamark]

Very cool! I have a red '78 Power Wagon 4 X 4 too, and if I had the room, I'd snag that puppy. It shouldn't last long at that price.

 

[furious70]

I wonder what gears with the 400. A 318 likely would have 4.56/4.88.
Also, those are weird valve covers? Kinda opposite of the normal BB truck power brake covers with that bulge in them

There was one at least five years back similar to this, but the seller took the box off and made it a flatbed. Had a two speed rear, said it was a 50mph truck, but could pull trees with the granny low 1st gear. This would be a workhorse of a truck, wish I was a player.
