Probably looking at $1K to ship it from FL to AZ...

Another $10K (easy) in restoration.

I'd have to do some research and find out what it's based off of... more pix would help.
I take somemore pics and post them tomorrow. and your right about the ten grand.

Some of us have a machine shop at their disposal. Find a new valve? Nope, fire up the lathe and make one. My first job was restoring antique cars (1920 and older) and my old boss still loves me.

The reason why I wont give the location is that where it is located is an area known for suspcious activity, so when you show up with 3 or 4 guys hovering around the truck, there is an %100 chance you will get caught and documeted in our system as loitiering in a buisness area. It wont ruin your record,but when ever you get pulled over in our city, it will show that you like loitering in business districts(AKA THIEF). So im just trying to save you the hassle...cool.

It's either in East Hialeah or Opa Locka, either way I'm not gonna drive all the way to the warehouse districts. It's an old fire truck not a KPGC10.

You mean like installing gay alteezas tailights, a power ranger hood ornament, a "got bass" window sticker, and woofers that have no business being on it in the first place, spewing out L'il Wayne music? Uh you'd have to be executed.

Interesting find. Looks complete too. Would make a fun project.
