If the hours and miles on that 5 ton are correct, you stole it. That
thing would make a great base for a fire dept brush truck.


I'm sure they're right for that instrument cluster; now when it was
replaced in that truck is another question...

There's a lot of cosmetic rust showing so the vehicle has been around a
while. Now it may have been a Reserve unit vehicle so wasn't doing
anything but sitting around, so may in fact be almost unused. If so,
it'd be interesting to estimate the cost/mile to taxpayer...what do you
suppose initial acquisition cost is for one of these puppies???
