What Is It?

I thought it would make a good first car for my dauter, but she didn't think so

 

Rhinoceros chase truck?

 

Not sure, the state of New Hampshire is having a surplus auction and that is one of cars listed.

Has the looks of a heavy duty deep bush/deep wood fire truck. The over kill crash bars up and over the hood and cab are there to deflect tree branches etc. I can't find any pics at the moment but we do have them in Canada, how ever this ford is a lite duty one in comparison to some I've seen. The ones I've seen have been Kenworth cab/chassis etc MEGA duty trucks.

 

Well, it does say "forestry" on the engine hood...
Cool.

 

That's a lot of Crown Vics for sale. My son would certainly love one of those firetrucks.

 

Looks like a Brush truck, forest fire/brush fire rig. We have them around here. But it doesn't apear to have a water tank.

Similar rig:



Caption says "A converted military truck being used as a brush fire unit"

 

Excellent for your daughter. Defensive Driving taken to the limit.

 

I need to take that back down to the L.A. freeways..........
Traffic jams - no problem.

 

I thought about cushions around my daughters first car but this a better idea

 

im gonna bet that truck was used for penetration (leave it alone rick!)
thick brush and heavy tree branches abound.

they use this to get in to the thick of the forest to cut a fire line.

 

I went to the auction today, that truck was masive,77 F-750 with only 11,200 miles on it. It brought $3750.00

 

Dang that would require a lot of lube.

That's a good price.

 

I just found this pic. Looks like a similar set up.
