I am a prior firefighter and collector moving to Australia, mustsell. Truck was first purchased new by smallwestern Canada farm town Fire Dept, Never sat outside, used mostly for parades. Crazy LOW mileage of 2600 when purchased by an IH dealer whoused it in showroom and a few truck shows until he retired. I had it shipped into US and registered in CA. Mostly used for neighborhood fun, localholiday parades, benefit events and occasional car show nearby. Called into service for heavier homeimprovement materials! Makes everyonesmile! Located an hour north of SanDiego. I want to pass the fun along tosomeone who will appreciate this workhorse from a prior era. I was thrilled to find this, not only as afirefighter but because I drove one of these hard on my family's horse ranch at 14,and while it seemed "old" at the time, it was unstoppable and very forgiving! If you are seeing this new listing, YES ITIS AVAILABLE.
