Have the only one in your neighborhood! This is a 1964 American LaFrance Fire Truck. I have owned it over 18 years. It originally came from the Community of Dixmoor IL and I have a photo of it when it was serving in active duty. It is complete with pump, working lights, working siren, ladders, fire extinguishers, and some hoses. It has approximately 23,000 miles. Garage kept. It is powered by a 608 cubic inch 6 cylinder Continental gas engine and has a manual transmission. The entire truck is in good mostly original condition. It will fit in an 8 foot high overhead door as long as you remove the light bar (4 bolts and unplugging 2 wires). The truck is about 26 feet long. It is great for parades, cruise nights, shows, and neighborhood parties. Please call with any questions. I would consider trading up or down for unique cars, trucks and boats. There are many things I am interested in, so please let me know what you have. I can provide inexpensive storage in either Mendota or LaSalle/Peru IL Thank you for your interest – Bill 630-988-4455.
