AD LIST

Webmaster's Note: The "Wanted" section has been split into two parts, Wanted-Apparatus and Wanted-Parts, Accessories Etc. I am also in the process of rearranging the listings so that the ads are in descending order by date or the latest ads will be at the top of the category. The ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SERVICES section has been moved to it's own page, see below. I would also ask that anyone that has an ad running please advise if the ad is outdated and should be removed. Persons submitting an ad are asked to make sure that their "CAPS LOCK" is not on as receiving the ad in all capitals requires retyping to fit our format. This courtesy is appreciated. Images submitted should be as a jpeg attachment, not embedded in a document. Thanks.

All advertisers should be aware that they will likely receive an email solicitation from someone offering a deal that sounds too good to be true. Don't be taken in by these thieves. If the deal sounds too good to be true, then it probably is a scam.

The ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SERVICES section has been moved to it's own page to allow our readers to reach the apparatus ads more quickly and easily. Just click on the blue hyperlink ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SERVICES immediately below to go to the new home of that section.

After demonstrating the unit to dealerships, Mack Truck sold the unit to Alameda County Fire on May 24, 1968. After Alameda declared it surplus, they donated it to the Columbia College Fire Station.

FOR SALE: 1950 Ford fire truck with a Ward LaFrance bed, formerly owned by the Unaka, NC fire department. It has a flathead V-8 that runs like new. The passenger door window is cracked and needs replacing. The truck needs new paint, but is very solid throughout. I have driven the truck around on my property, and have enjoyed it. The truck is now 60 years old to date, and has a total of 11,000 2/10 original miles on it. I have never tried the pump, but have no doubt it to work by an experienced person that knows how to hook up and use it. I have the original siren for this truck, but had removed it years ago to prevent it from being removed by vandals. The siren looks to be brand new. I have no doubt that it works as well. It spins freely like a new one, and the red lens on the front is as new. I have owned this truck for over 9 years to date. My intentions were to restore it to like-new condition, and use it in local parades, etc. One of the red lights on top of the front bumper was broken before I got the truck, but the other is intact and in like new condition. The truck needs a new battery, as mine has grown old and is worn out. This is a 6 volt system with a positive ground. The transmission is as new, but has a strange shift pattern that I personally have never seen one to equal. The inside floor pans are as solid as when they were new. The interior is in as-new condition with the exception of one tear in the 60 year old seat. Asking $4000 OBO, Call Rick at (706) 455-1725. Please leave message.

FOR SALE: 1958 Mack B95....needing a special owner & some TLC. It is a 2 door enclosed cab, with a Hale 1000 gpm pump, and 400 gal. booster tank. A new tank was built and installed in 1979. The original 707C Thermodyne was replaced in 1976 with a Detroit Diesel 6-71. It has air brakes, air steering, 5 speed transmission and no batteries. Located in SE Kansas, this truck was in service from 1958 until 1999 when I bought it at a city auction. Firefighter cared for until 1999, then parked, indoors until 2006 at my home. During that time it was drove occasionally, and pumped water 2 or 3 times...just for fun. In 2006, there was an electrical fire in the shop that housed the truck....although the fire was at the opposite end of the building, and was under control quickly, unfortunately, smoke knows no boundaries. Within a week, the truck was driven outside, thoroughly hand washed, then moved once more to where is sitting now. I have periodically used a garden sprayer to coat it with wd40....in an attempt to protect and/or slow any further deterioration. With my limited knowledge, I can't honestly say what all was damaged or affected by the smoke or heat from the fire. I hope it was mostly cosmetic, and can be easily fixed or cleaned. The paint was faded and worn away in places before the fire, but I haven't been able to provide shelter from the elements since then. I love this truck, and hate to sell, but I can not provide the attention it needs and deserves.....physically, mentally or financially.

I know there were some minor air leaks mentioned when we had it out & running, but can't say what all is needed as of now to run, drive, or pump. I feel it shouldn't take much, but I am not a mechanic or a firefighter, so I can only tell you what I know....which is the history. I have all the paperwork from when city owned, including annual pump service tests, maintenance, repair, and service records & receipts, also some original operating-maintenance manuals with parts lists. What I find most exciting and interesting is a letter enclosed with a proposal & specification folder. It was sent from Mack in 1957, detailing the trucks specifics prior to purchase, and also includes the contract to buy the truck.

I am looking for someone special, with a big heart, to buy my Mack...someone with plenty of time, money and knowledge to restore its beauty, and give it new life. I would love to see it restored and/or preserved for use in parades, shows, or teaching children, or even put in a museum. Buyer MUST agree to share restoration progress and/or completion thru email, photos, or any other workable means, with me and my family. I have 4 children who have spent countless hours playing in this truck.....all of them, from before they could walk, until as recent as last week. I bought this truck for them. My ideas and intentions of what to do with it just never became reality. My husband, and father to 3 of my children, is a fallen firefighter (LODD 1998) and he drove, operated, and cared for this truck. It is special to us, and a hard decision to sell, but I cannot bear to see this truck waste away in my driveway, and now money is needed for major home repairs, so I must let go....but will only agree to sell knowing it will be cared for properly and our connection to it is not totally lost. Asking $7,750...but all offers welcome. If interested please contact Kristi at blonderider72@yahoo.com (06/28/10--10-53)

I have all of the parts for this truck and I will do as much as possible to get it to the right hands to finish it I do not want to part it out I know it can be finished and would make a fantastic piece of history. I have taken most of it apart and I have done a lot of work so far it just needs to be finished. The frame has been painted and the motor was torn down and runs great now it is a Waukesha 145 G and I have a bunch of manuals for the engine that will go with the truck. The motor needs a water pump and it is available. I repacked all of the wheel cylinders and painted them I had 2 fenders and the side metal skirts sandblasted. I have many photos of the truck while I was working on it and they will also go with the truck. It has the original bell, spot light, wooden ladders and hard sleeves. I can answer all questions and send more photos if you would like. $ 9300.00 OBO I may consider trades for antique fire alarm or any other fire memorabilia.

FOR SALE: 1924 American LaFrance engine, ex-Denver Fire Department reserve Engine 16. Currently on display at the Denver Firefighters Museum, it runs (last ran in 2003). The truck was rebuilt from an ALF tractor, and the remains of a pumper, both owned by Denver. There is no builders plate but our research has found that it originally was ALF tractor number 4618, bought new in 1924 and, after a crash in 1938 was rebuilt as a pumper. It has a centrifugal pump, dual carburetors, and is sold with all attached equipment, including siren, ladder, hard suction and Roto-Ray. Also a complete history as we know it. For more pictures see our website, or contact us. Asking $10,000. Contact SOLD 08/01/10 .(06/24/10--10-50)

FOR SALE: 1919 Brockway American LaFrance Triple Combination Pumping Car, former Hazardville, CT’s first fire engine. In excellent condition.

Truck has been housed and displayed in fire museums since leaving Sparkill, NY. It is small enough to be stored in a standard garage. Absolutely no rust or corrosion on truck. Motor runs without smoke. I hazard to guess that vehicle has less than 4000 miles on it.

FOR SALE: I have a classic 1975 Ward La France Fire engine equipped with 1000 gallon tank, Hale pump, 2 hose reels with hose, two 10' sections of 6" hard suction hose. This truck has a stout Detroit 6V92 Diesel engine, 5 speed transmission, and air brakes. Odometer shows around 29,300 miles. Tachometer doesn't work but doesn't hinder the drive-ability of the pumper. Truck is a solid workhorse and was just taken out of service in June of 2009. Would be a great restoration project, or even as a promotional tool or just as fun drive around town. It isn't in perfect condition as is no working truck of this age. Tires are in fair shape. The only potential issue I discovered recently is the piping between pump and tank froze and burst during the unusually cold winter this year. Truck pumped and sprayed water and would've easily passed pump test prior to the freeze. I haven't had time to make necessary repairs. It is a sharp truck and a lot of fun to drive. Asking $4,500. Serious inquiries only!! Reasonable offers welcomed! Getting married and the truck has to go! Truck is located in EC Mississippi.

FOR SALE: 1923 Model TT Fire Truck for sale. This was Junction City Oregon Fire Department's first motorized vehicle. It was used to pull the steamer that was previously horse drawn. After retirement it was purchased by Gibson Motor Company's Service manager and fire dept volunteer Jake King, who started working for Angus Gibson's at his Ford agency in 1921. Jake eventually sold the TT to my father, the owner and dealer at Gibson motors. Jake kept the TT in great shape and she was painted in 83. Unfortunately Gibson Motors was forced to close it's doors this year and therefore the TT is up for sale. She starts quickly, runs and drives well and looks great. There are a few small areas of paint peeling off the wood but this is not highly visible and would be easy to repair or leave alone. She comes with one of her original ladders. You can see her on the showroom floor looking great. More photos available $14,000. Scott Knox Ph: 541-482-2063 (02/21/09--09-11)

FOR SALE: I am offering for sale this 1946 Mack LS85 Pumper truck. This truck originally saw service in Rhode Island, and I bought it about 6 years ago and took it to Florida. When I got it, the motor needed quite a bit of work. I have had the motor professionally restored (It is the Mack Thermodyne 707) and it is in excellent condition. New manifold, distributors, heads magnafluxed, gaskets, and valve job. All internal parts were checked out, and are in excellent condition. Brakes were done, transmission was gone through and is in excellent condition. Basically all the mechanical has been completed with the exception of the carb. I have located one, but have not purchased it, since I no longer have an interest in fixing it. I moved to Michigan 4 years ago and brought it with me, it has been stored inside since I purchased it.

The truck is in excellent mechanical condition, and I was told the pump was operational when I bought it. It really just needs the aesthetics completed. Minor body work on both doors, paint, chrome, seat recovered, etcetera. I had hopes of finishing it and driving it in parades, but just don't have the time, and now would really like to sell it to someone who will complete her.

I have over $ 8000 invested in the truck and the repairs, not counting the freight to move it twice, and very little investment is needed to finish it. Lights, gauges, axe holders, etc are all there. It does not have a siren or bell, although I have located those as well. I can help you find someone for shipping, or you can pick it up. I don't mind holding it up to 60 days as long as it is paid for.

I am asking $ 5000 for it, and taking a loss on my investment, but I know that the economy has got everything somewhat depressed. I don't need any more ridiculous lowball offers as I have been offered $ 3950 for it, and have been offered a little over $ 3000 just for some of the parts. I believe it is worth more than $ 5000 (I imagine the motor alone is probably worth almost that), but right now with the way things are, I will take $5000. It would make a great group project for a fire house. I do not want to part it out, but am at the point where I may start. So far I have not sold anything off of the truck. Please feel free to email me at deereoldiron@yahoo.com or call me at 269-788-4564 with any questions.

The only condition is I would like to see pictures of it when you finish her. Have a Happy New Year! (01/05/09--09-02)

FOR SALE: The ULTIMATE Toy Hauler!
We had this trailer custom built to be able to accommodate our collection of antique fire trucks. Our goal was to be able to transport safely (and enclosed) either our 1924 American LaFrance Type 12 (approx 10,000 lbs.) or our 1930 Ahrens-Fox model “J” (approx 12,000 lbs.) Perhaps you could add a lift to go racing or haul your muscle cars or even your antique tractor. The options of how you can use it are endless! To ease loading and unloading, we had a ramp style door built the full height of the rear of the trailer, giving us a long gentle slope. A separate winch lowers and closes this extra heavy duty door. A double thickness of ¾ inch plywood floor allows the weight of the fire engines to be distributed along the trailer frame. 3 - 8,000 lb axles (with electric brakes) carry the weight of the loaded trailer. A 9,000 lb winch is located in the nose of the cargo space to winch the truck into the trailer. 10 – 5,000 lb D-rings make tying down the load convenient.

Because of my work schedule, I would sometimes leave late in the afternoon to get to our destination. This precipitated having living quarters built into the nose of the trailer so we could pull off into a truck/rest stop for the evening. The approx 20’ living quarters are fully self contained including a propane electrical generator, stand-up shower and kitchen with microwave, stove etc. With nearly 9’ ceiling height, the living area seems very spacious.

The trailer can be purchased with our 2002 freightliner FL 70 business class semi-tractor to effortlessly pull the trailer down the road. We have driven to Hershey PA from our home in Port Huron, Michigan and as far away as Denver CO effortlessly, and comfortably.

If you have further questions or would like to arrange to see the truck or trailer, please call me: Terry Ernest, 810-987-2854 during business hours. Or e-mail: ternest@sbcglobal.net (07/04/08)

FOR SALE: HALE pump from a 1966 International V-190 pumper. Believed to have been a MAXIM, the fire body was dismantled some time before I bought the truck.

There are no additional parts such as the gauges and controls, they were all removed with the body a long time ago.

Our current truck has a bad manifold, and after a year long search while restoring, we have decided that the engine parts we need to get our old 1955 Mack truck up and running are just not to be found. (see our old truck at http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/ruger22com/truck6.jpg
and our website at http://abbashrinefirebrigade.com ). We don't have a lot of money, but we have a lot of heart and would give your old truck a great home. We are located in Mobile Alabama. And while we can do a little restoration and mechanical work (no junk please), we really need something that is in good drivable shape with decent paint. It does not need to have working pumps, as it will be used for parades and charity fundraisers. If you have a good truck looking for a good home, please drop me an email at ruger22@comcast.net or call me at 251-661-0634. Thanks and God bless you all!

INFORMATION WANTED: I am searching high and low for help on a problem we have with our restored 1923 Maxim. It is insurance. We can get basic coverage for drivers from the department, but not to haul people in the back hose bed on parades and similar public events like we use to do. When we first took on the task of restoring our original pump truck for this town, it was decided that it would be a piece of "working" history and not just put behind glass. The kids absolutely love to ride on it in parades and events. But this can happen no more. Any ideas about insurance for these? If you are interested, check out our little web page on our department page for the truck - http://www.woodstockfd.com/history.asp?t=2

It has a FH V8. The truck has been sitting for a few years, does not currently run. I think the motor just needs a good going through to run (carb rebuild, fuel line flush, new ignition, etc...) The remainder of the truck appears to be complete, pump is intact, has ladder and axe on side, all lights and sirens, etc...paint is excellent. I'm sorry I don't have more detail about the fire apparatus portion of the truck. What is a fair price for this rig? (it's a sealed bid) Also, If I'm successful, about how heavy is this rig, can I flat tow with towbar behind my '89 3/4T Suburban? (about 50 miles, relatively flat state highway). Thank you very much, I hope to be joining the hobby soon! Walt Brodzinski, EMAIL: jeepnut@therim.com (09/30/05)

INFORMATION WANTED: I am a Captain with The Cohoes, New York Fire Department. I am trying to locate a couple of our apparatus from the past and wondered if you would be able to help. Our department had two 1950 Mack Pumpers which were sold together in the mid 1980's at a city auction, the person that bought them is no longer in the area but I know he sold them before he moved on to someone I believe in the Baltimore area.

These Mack's were in decent shape and they were sisters. I have many pictures of these pumpers and was wondering if you could ask any of your people if they may know the location of these trucks now. I have tried a number of different avenues to locate them and have not had any luck. I would love to know where they are and have pictures of what they look like; I would be willing to trade pictures of how the trucks were when they were in the City of Cohoes. I have no serial numbers to go by but I was hoping you may be able to get the ball rolling by getting the Cohoes Fire Department name out there.

I hope you may be able to help. Captain Jim Fennen, email: jfennen@nycap.rr.com (01/25/05)

I purchased a 1957 American LaFrance 800 Series Pumper last November. The last fire department to own it was Adelphi Fire Department in Ohio where it ran as engine E-301. According to American LaFrance, its original owner was Franklin Township, Ohio. Its registration number is 9455. I'm trying to find any information about the truck's past as I'm in the process of rebuilding it. I'd like to restore it to its original condition, but I have no idea what it looked like before Adelphi got a hold of it. Adelphi painted it green with yellow trim to match their other units.

I e-mailed one Franklin Township, Ohio, fire department, but it doesn't seem to be the correct one as the only records they have for apparatus purchases in 1957 are two American LaFrances on Ford commercial chassis. If it helps, the Franklin Township I'm looking for purchased two 700 Series ALFs four months before they purchased the 800 Series that I now have. I can provide pictures of the truck if it would help.
