psjboyz,
I remember driving this a lot – was scared out of my wits a couple of times since I was not sure if it would STOP – tad overweight. Still in service to my knowledge.

1989 Ford F-350 XL/4-Guys, 750/250, 4X4 mini-pumper. This was used as a QRS, field piece, and water supply unit. It had a 7.5L, 460 CI gas motor, 5-speed manual transmission, and a Inverter. It cost $65,800. The chassis was built in 5/89. It was delivered 12/15/89. Additional leaf springs were added in 1993 by Reading Leaf Springs due to a weight problem in the rear. Break problems dodged this unit during its entire life due to it being overweight. It was sold on 1/10/02 to Wynn Fire & Rescue Equipment of Greeneville, TN. Placed OOS on 1/12, left on a lowboy on 1/18/02. Wynn sold it in 04/02 to the Marrowbone Fire Department (Regiena, Pike County, KY), to be used as a QRS and light rescue unit.
