When my unit made it to Iraq (2003) we ended up in some fabrication shop/warehouse as an operations base. The big score though was there were gas powered welders all over and a giant Lincoln like the one in the auction. So we used it as a generator and it powered our tent lights, water cooler, laptop, and whatever else we got our hands on. That was one perk of being a mechanic in a field artillery unit. Nobody questions where you got all the amenities, especially when we built a shower and we could clean off after missions.

based on the cab information tag E7-460 this is a 6 cilinder multi injection engine with 454 hp and an enormous amount of torque. Together with the three rear axels this can haul anything you may ever want to purchase and transport. The frame even has enough room to put a sleeper on. It likes to live between 1300 and 1800 rpm. i bet if you dull it up and put a sleeper on you can triple your money.

Then, we rely on trucks for the movement of goods across the country. And, hows this one for price? I even saw a 1985 model Mack with a price tag of 145,000....

Is that the one which did the accordion can opener thing on the lid? I loved the idiot in the nice camper which scraped off BOTH of his A/C units on that bridge.

Great purchase Matt. You stole that truck. Will do the same job as those KW's for a whole lot less. Although those KW's were beautiful trucks.I hope you still build the Autocar.

That fire truck is from the north metro of the Twin Cities here in the state of Minnesota! My hometown!

Fire Truck is from Minnesota. Spring Lake Park, Blaine and Mounds View must share fire equipment. I pump inflammable waste traps for them. I didn't realize Blaine was included in that consortium. I thought it was Fridley instead of Blaine, but yeah. Those cities are northern suburbs of Minneapolis. My shop is in Fridley MN, super close to Spring Lake Park border.
