Those are soooo cool!
It's obvious they use the toughest trucks for those jobs.
Brush truck we got a hold of needed a heart transplant so sacrificed it's parts so others could live

I liked the logo on the door!

Those mid 60's GMC are the coolest looking trucks of all time. I hope to have one some day.

They're the li'l hustlers of the VFD and many seem especially proud of them. Kinda like a mascot. I like that door art.

Me too John. They are stout,proud,and stylish. The trucks of the height of the best automotive era. My choice to run 67-72s was born of practicality which led to being about classics. My passion is in all that preceded as well.

DirtyLarry · 01-25-2011, 12:16 PM

Nice! I would take any one of those trucks....well almost.

no moa · 01-25-2011, 12:28 PM

I passed a 71 a month or so ago that had a huge box on the back, and said "keep back 500 ft" No town name though, I tried to get turned around but i couldn't in time. Would have loved to got the plate and found out who owned it.
