same with brush trucksWhere could i buy fire jeeps or fire brush trucks?
Good luck with Willys fire jeeps. Most of these were built by Howe and a couple of other manufacturers after WWII and into the 1950's. They have become very collectable among fire apparatus collectors because the will fit into a standard garage. The classic rig will have a front mounted pump and a ladder rack on the top. Basically this can perform the functions of a fire truck.

I see these come up on ebay and on some of the SPAAMFAA related websites.

Prepare to pay top dollar for one of these.


Brush trucks are a different matter. My pick would be one built on a military 3/4 ton pickup chassis. Sometimes they are on a regular pick up truck chassis. There are plenty of these out there. Most of the time they are just a tank and a gas powered pump. Some depts do go all out with them but many times these would be provided to rural departments by state forestry departments. These also show up on ebay from time to time and sometimes along side fire stations with for sale signs on them.


Beware buying one of these if you don't have any mechanical skill because they are abused when in service.





Good luck and hope this helps.
