Great deal, especially for a 1975

[70shortfleet]

Hope it is not titled as a 75

[tanman722001]

Would be cool to have for sure.And yea hope it isnt titled a 75.

That's the rare HD C/30 with 13,000# axle option. Notice the wide 5-lug front/10-lug rear. That's an awesome truck.

Strip the firetruck equipement off and add a bed...my wife would have me committed.

[Bert W]

This would be a good candidate for a truck bed. For me, all of the fire truck stuff would have to go.

[gmc1969custom]

I like it.

[domeier]

Aw man, I'd leave all the fire stuff and paint it blood red with Squad 51 on the doors in gold. That thing is AWESOME!

[special-K]

It already has a truck bed. I'd either restore it as a fire truck or put some other purpose-built body on it,like a dump bed,utility,wrecker,flatbed,etc,and use it. It would be a waste to make it a pickup.

What I don't understand is why it is so rusty. In a town close to me they have a 67 "Grass Rig" that is PERFECT. Don't those guys down there take care of their equipment?

[70chevytruck]

For the most part they do....this looks like it was sold some time ago and sat outside....

[Hubscrub]

i would seriously think about buying that if it was around here leave it as is only clean it up.

[srvivor71]

I would NOT have titled that E-Bay listing "Parade Ready". That is about as far from parade ready as can be. No mention of how many miles on the truck or whether or not it even runs (except the pumps).

I have only seen two or three also. One was for sale in the late-80s and I wanted it bad. It was a 71/72 GMC 133",Red/White top with an Omaha Standard flatbed/cattle rack. It was all painted up nice,even with the pinstripe on the bed and racks. The wheels and bumpers were white and it had the only set of white 71/72 bumper guards I ever saw. As I recall it was a guy who restores IH Farmalls. This thing was a "pride & joy" example of a farm truck.
These things should be called C/40s. They were in the prior body design.

DANG! That is cool! I vote with "domeier". Red with gold lettering. Probably a good thing I'm too far away to stop and look at it.

[special-K]

Here ya go:

[domeier]

What the hell is it about fire trucks that turn grown men into six year-olds? I want to OWN that thing, and just sit in it with the lights flashing and blip the siren, and hose the driveway down with the pump. GOD, that thing is the coolest toy.

[BLAZERMAN]

I remember that truck..he was a member here for awhile....it runs as good as it looks!! You can see it starting at 1:22 in this vid

Selden Invite 2009, Piston Knockers Footage ...

[special-K]

That is way too cool. And,there was another!

[jeremy zander]

Wow super cool..Makes me more proud to be a firefighter/EMT

[Petie724x4]

I said earlier "want it"......I meant the fire truck body. The special order 1ton with heavy axels....got one. I keep replying to threads like this in hopes someone will have some more info on these, gonna start working on her in the spring.

[special-K]

Like I told you before,that's one supercool truck!
