Thats gotta be one of the neatest trucks i've ever seen. I think it's every little kids dream to own a firetruck. Heres an 84 one ton, 4x4 dually, in almost new condition. Very cool. John

I can't help but think that poor Dana 60 is probably needing a rebuild from being so overloaded for all these years, must be a heck of a leaf pack up front, when you take all the crap off the front it is going to have a 10in lift!

Awesome truck!

I'd love to have that truck!

I'd take the doors and paint "Station 51" on them.

I'd take the entire pump package, tank includes, build a trailer with a small engine to run it all, use the truck as is...awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also listed on ebay as item 330453739388

It appears the fire department and a broker are both listing the same truck ...

The fire departments is a no reserve listing ....

Some things bother me about it. The front springs are WAY too weak, IMHO it would have looked a lot better if it were still black, and it looks to have a 3 or 4 inch body lift on it.

I'd almost bet the front springs are not stock. When upfitted for the pumper body the pumper manufacturer will modify to suit. I have an ex fire truck chassis I'm working on, had lots of modifications from original including gas tank relocation to passenger side, exhaust modification for pto lines, etc.
Take a look look underneath.

Re: K30 dually minipumper
 
It looks to me that the springs are stock. They look like they are a good bit past the normal reverse arch these trucks have. I could be wrong though.

GM72K10 07-24-2010 08:44 PM

Re: K30 dually minipumper
 
Agreed, that's what I mean, they "look" stock but there's probably some kind of reinforcement in there.

Bad a*) truck..that front bumper must weight 1000 lbs alone...lol

Shawn5488 07-25-2010 01:02 PM

Re: K30 dually minipumper
 
Stock front spring!!!!!! I don't think so! More like 15 leafs under the front of that thing, I bet if you took all the crap off the front the nose would be WAY in the air, no body lift just tons of arched springs in front!

What the heck truck are you looking at?! The truck clearly has a body lift. Engine sunken down in the bay, t-case shifter hardly poking through the floor, frame hanging a fair bit lower than the body, gaps between body and frame, etc. And the front springs obviously don't have more than an extra leaf, maybe two. Open your eyes fella!;)

Front Spring picture, looks like only 2, 3 tops.

Re: K30 dually minipumper
 
Well I never seen those pictures, I just seen the ad on e-bay. I am sorry for the bad info! I am being serious. I really figured it had a stack of leafs up front, I will have to go back and check out the rest of the pics.
