That was one of the best fire truck cab and chassis ever made. Pretty much all of the apparatus manufacturers used them up until they were discontinued. Very maneuverable and durable.
I was actually just doing a little bit of research on that. I would think that this has to be an original in order to have the logos and everything. The guy I picked it up from said he put the truck together so that's where I am a little confused but I should ask him and see if he built a clone or if it is a true HM truck
It'd be cool to have one if these, I wouldn't want to have to feed a big gas V8 though...there was the FT 330, 361, 391 and Super Duty 401, 477 and 534. A turbo diesel swap wouldnprobably be the move. If a Cummins is too difficult because of high demand, a Interbational DT360 or 466 or Ford I6 turbo diesel from the 80s would work pretty well and use enough less fuel to be worth the effort.
Dad had a 67 cabover Ford grain truck, opposite paint scheme.... I hated that thing.... maybe if it brakes, I might have liked it? As grandpa used to say, 1st to the accident in a COE... LOL

Look up Holman Moody. That is a piece of racing history!

Very cool!
I'd agree former fire dept. truck. Dual spotlights and flashers on the front scream fire truck. Any holes in roof for lights?
@@johnheckler4185 i did not check for that. Holman Moody did build some of these but I don't know if this is one of those or a clone

@@hendo337 yeah basically anything, even idi swap would give as much power with more reliability

I never realized they kept the cabover body style that late
@@Hard_Luck_Garage yeah I knew it was a long time but looked it up last night and it was like mid-50s to 1990
@ wow that’s a lot longer than I ever knew
1957 to 1990
@michaelkaney5134 blew my mind when I read that!
At one time the longest running truck cab in production. I don’t think it’s been beat. Also used by other truck manufacturers like Mack
