Like your old Lincoln Tomestone ! As a soldier I spent years wrenching on those old LMTVs its nice to see them getting improved and remaned to fire service vocation. Watch your drive shafts like hawk for broken yokes and keep the slipjoints well greased Ive seen them break and flip the truck over while rolling down the road at high speed.
turned out great for mostly repurposed stuff!! couple questions, what was their budget? and did you purchase the bumper monitor or did they already have it? I'm building a 916 freightliner for a local department as well and need one.
@@dirtybirdfab5378 I will ask Herb on the budget. They supplied the monitor and high pressure hose. They started the project and got overwhelmed. Small volunteer department with great guys with big hearts. It's a lot of work. They used parts from 3 different engines to get as far as they did. That's why they called it Scrappy. I will check with Herb, but I this it was under $18,000.
@@RobSharp-wo5qj good question, I think it has to do with how the government program works on getting surplus vehicles. Can't use it as a parts truck, but because the other truck doesn't work and they've had it over 12 months, it can become a parts truck. Government.
Very simple and efficient. Just something I would add besides the front bumper monitor would be a manual monitor midship mounted when things are tough it gives a good help. It is something we have for many years and is very useful.
That’s great to have 4000gal tender in an area with no water supply.Great for both wildland and structure firefighting. Would be great for herein BC right now. We are getting our butts kick by fires started by lightning.
It was missing an turbo exhaust tube. The agency had one there when it was dropped off. The fix made all the difference in the world. My agency has one, not built for speed, but it can climb mountains.
Sorry, don't have any for sale. The one's we have are surplus to the departments we are building for. I see them all the time for sale on the internet.
@@vinniethewanderingitalian9468 ok thanks. Yes Facebook is pretty flooded with them. Just need ti find one built correctly or maintained well. I got lucky with my Humvee so hopefully I buy well again
It all depends on the customer and what they want in the build. It varies from truck to truck, sometimes they show up and we have to repair them. Just guessing, if we had all the parts 3 to 6 weeks. We get delayed alot because of parts.
Those little Wajax rancher skids are awesome we build or buy those for all the ranchers down here in eastern Oregon. Perfect for a small fire. Where abouts are you guy's?
