I would like to have that one for sure. I calculate that after the cost (above $4500) it would take me 19 days and $700 worth of gas to make the trip. HMMMM I wonder what it would cost to hitch hike out there and drive it back? My luck it would take two weeks and a couple of nights in a hoosegow to get there.
I may just put it on my Watch list.

Maybe you could join your local fire company and then they could pay your travel expenses to get the truck. Look what an asset you would be to the community

Been there and done that VFD bit, they have less money than I do!
I left after they burned up the new F**D brush truck in a fire! Now they have 2 more new F**D pieces of junk.

Hey MrMack, I live close to where this truck is and can pick it up for you and drive it to Texas. That way you don't have to spend any time in the hoosegoo.

Thanks Oscar, that is a really wonderful offer. Let's see how the bidding goes before you get ready to leave.
Thanks,

I wonder how far you could get with these ORIGINAL tires?

Ended without reserve price met. May be the seller will try again, but the tires: I would have been thoughtful when driving it home in a long distance run.

Hope you get it next time, Mr. Mack
