67-72 light duty firetrucks--one ton and less. The link is in my sig. I only have 15 post-worthy pics so far, please send me any others that you might have or find! Check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks, Ben.

P.S. - It's on Geocities, so if it exceeds my traffic allotment, then just come back later. Thanks!

Those are some great pics, Thanks

wild@work · 10-04-2002, 01:29 AM

Love the pics, I dig the deep dish steel wheels that are shown on a lot of them. Wish I could find a set!

Got your page bookmarked, hate the pop ups though...

oh man those are too sweet!

71402BB · 10-04-2002, 05:47 AM

WOW, there all nice! I really want those 2 burbs though! When I move down to CT I know 2 towns I'm going to have to stop at! hehe

**Tim Christian** · 10-04-2002, 05:59 AM

That is so cool

**Yukon Jack** · 10-04-2002, 09:35 AM

Nice collection. I will look through my pics and see if I have any that you don't have. I think I might have one that you don't have.

kpf · 10-04-2002, 10:01 AM

Man those look pretty cool. There are a couple rescue trucks running around here also, I'll have to get some picts and send to you.

Longhorn Man · 10-04-2002, 12:20 PM

How about ambulances?

**ThreeQuarter** · 10-04-2002, 01:08 PM

Thanks for all the compliments.

Yep, I'm collecting ambulance pics, too. That page hasn't been created yet, though. The reason they're on the back burner is because I don't have many pics of them with the dept. name on the door, still in service. The pics I have of ambulances still in service are mostly old pics from the seventies. Ambulances are run more than firetrucks and have much shorter service lives, but most of the firetrucks I have on my site are still in service (some aren't). That's what makes them so cool--they're actual working firetrucks that people depend on to get the job done. That, and my dad's a Dallas fire fighter (30 yrs.), as was his dad, so I just love fire trucks.

Of course I'll save any pic of a 67-72 in emergency services that you post, in service or retired!

*racedvl* · 10-04-2002, 07:47 PM

!!!! Hey!!! I took the picture of that last GMC ambulance pic!! It was pretty nice too! Cheap. Too bad I'm always broke.

Longhorn Man · 10-04-2002, 11:34 PM

How about tow trucks? I have a small collection of them too.
They are pretty much all beat up turds though...not many 30 year old wreckers that are still pretty.

**ThreeQuarter** · 10-06-2002, 11:08 PM

Tow trucks? Sure--send'em my way! I'll eventually have to make a general working truck page to include all versions of out trucks in "blue-collar" form.

Longhorn Man · 10-06-2002, 11:54 PM

Here you go...most came off this board, but the blue GMC was here in town and I attacked it with the digi-cam. There are 2 more here in town, just need to find out where they are so I can get some pics of them too...
E-bay rig...

Can't remember who/where on this one...

Big pic here...

longhorn69jeff and I saw this in Carlile last march. I was gonna get closer, but we were already WAY behind schedule.

Except for the bent boom, this truck was oozing with coolnes.

And here is a shot of the GMC 351 V-6 in that blue wrecker.

Coulda e-mailed them to you....but this way everyone gets a copy!

**ThreeQuarter** · 10-07-2002, 12:01 AM

Good stuff. Thanks!

Lippyp · 10-07-2002, 06:18 AM

Here's a 67 wrecker, pic came off this or another board.

wild@work · 10-07-2002, 09:15 AM

Longhorn,

That was me! Truck is located just east on Lansing, MI in back of a towing yard.
