HowdyList,
I want to second Daves hint concerning rural fire departments. Many fire
departments used Deuces to make brush fire trucks and obtained surplus
ambulances to equip search and rescue units when 4wd was necessary.
Eventually these units are retired when the cost of repair or availability
of parts becomes a problem. The vehicles then are sold or left to rot in
the weeds behind the firehouse until YOU come along and offer th make a
DONATION to the RFD fund. These finds are allways fun and often are good
deals.
The search is also a great excuse for exploring back roads and talking to
the locals about MV's in general. Enjoy!
