I started a thread in 67-72 at one point, but I see nothing here. Let's see some pictures of 88-00 fire & rescue rigs. This first one is a nice one!!

**special-K** · 01-01-2015, 06:28 PM

That one is a hard act to follow

Very nice!!!

**special-K** · 01-02-2015, 08:59 AM

A couple more:

**special-K** · 01-02-2015, 09:06 PM

Cool ones:

b454rat · 01-02-2015, 09:45 PM

That crew cab is sweet...wish mine was like that.....local fire dept. has the F word in their garage....

**special-K** · 01-03-2015, 09:45 AM

It's neat that many FDs lifted these trucks. It's not like they're all not custom/purpose built anyway. Maybe I should put on a carnival or bull roast to raise funds to raise my Suburban. the Mt. Airy VFD seems to use a mix of Fords and Chevys for support vehicles. They've always had a Suburban. I like how they put "Volunteers" in gold script on the back of those vehicles. I'm not even sure what they have for a brush truck. They used to use an M37 with full exto-cage.

I found this crappy little picture of one Chevy they have

Really nice trucks.
Here are a couple Fire & Rescue Chevy trucks from Sweden for you;

**special-K** · 01-06-2015, 09:02 AM

Thanks for sharing. It's good to see hard working Chevys around the world

In post #1 by speacial k, tell me about the rims. Manufacturer, size, powder coated,

**special-K** · 01-18-2015, 10:37 AM

I have no idea. I just found the picture searching the net. They look like the wheels Alcoa used to make. I think they were just blasted and painted because there's no color in the openings. I was going to powder coat a set of those in gun metal grey on the '95 K3500 custom work truck I had. But those wheels had just been discontinued. That was in the late-90s

Sarge261 · 01-20-2015, 12:45 PM

Anyone know what wheels are on that truck towing the 6x6...I would love a set of those for my 2 door Yukon.

Looks like Mickey Thompson Classic II

I had a set on my 98:

I really have a soft spot for the GMT400 Crew Cabs. Very nice pics so far.

Sarge261 · 01-22-2015, 10:22 AM

Thanks,

I think I need to track a set of those down... they look good on that 98 of yours.

**special-K** · 04-19-2015, 06:34 AM

Nice dually

**Boog** · 04-19-2015, 09:18 AM

In our area fire and police depts sometimes put their vehicles up for auctions. I have tried several times to buy one but each time they get bought by someone in each particular community for way more than market value. Makes no sense.

**special-K** · 04-19-2015, 08:51 PM

You used to be able to buy surplus for cheap. Now, there is too much competition

Sarge261 · 04-20-2015, 01:18 PM

I know what you mean I would love to get my paws on a deuce and a half, but prices went through the roof.

Sarge

68 50th · 06-14-2016, 11:57 AM

This 1988, model CK30903 just showed up on an auction site here in Sweden. It is claimed to have just 44883 kilometers/27889 miles on it. I think I will bid on it if it doesn´t goes too high.

**special-K** · 08-08-2021, 06:02 PM

Nice truck... 5 years later. Mats, are you still looking in?

I found some more pictures

CrewCab59 · 09-10-2021, 02:13 PM

A few C3500HD 4wd Conversions.

**special-K** · 09-11-2021, 09:58 AM

Great trucks. Thanks for sharing. I never knew about these until I saw some for sale on commercial truck trader sites in the early 2000s. I'd love to find one to buy. I don't think I've seen one in person

sweetk30 · 09-15-2021, 10:58 PM

I scored a 2wd c3500-HD my self over a month ago . . I LOVE the truck over my 87k30 truck for work and daily drive use . The 8.1L and nv4500 sure make it nice tho .

b454rat · 09-18-2021, 08:01 AM

I've only ever seen 2 4wd HDs. You'd think in the northeast there would be more, but seems there more down south. I had an HD for a bit but sold it. Wanted to make a 4wd crew cab, but I called every yard that had a listing for HD's, couldn't find one. I found the 10 lugs hubs for $800...
