Nice find! That thing shows something different between the K/20s and the 2 wheelers. Here's a pretty basic model yet,of the options it has,I'm looking at two rare and desirable options...tow hooks and 8.25 wheels. Nothin' pretty,just truck stuff. These trucks were about function and they are all cool with no options at all. Options like these were all about function. Take the most loaded 2wd out there with all the sporty options...big block,tach,posi. It still has the same wheel as a total stripper. The wide wheels look cool,but the option was for "flotation" tires which was to enhance off road performance. This fire dept got what it felt it needed and nothing else,including no lock-outs. Figure it was for brush fires and if it was going out,it was going off road. No time to be stopping to "lock'em in" and it ain't no turnpike cruiser needing to free-wheel.
