THE FACTORY ORIGINAL 4X4 VERSIONS ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND.....AND YOU WONT EVER FIND ONE IN THIS KIND OF WELL PRESERVED SURVIVOR CONDITION AGAIN. THIS IS ALSO A VAN PELT FIRE APPARATUS BUILD UP....ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED FIRE APP BUILDERS ON THE WEST COAST. THIS RIG WAS SOLD NEW TO BISHOP CA IN 1960 BY VAN PELT... IT HAS FULL PROVENANCE....FROM BISHOP CA TO CHALFANT CA TO ME..3 OWNERS..THATS IT. LIKE ALL BISHOP FIRE EQUIP ITS RUST AND ROT FREE AND FANATICALY MAINTAINED.... ITS TRULY A SHOW PIECE IN MY OPINION. HAS THE LARGER UA75 FRONT PUMP. TRUCK WAS ORDERED AS A WATER CANNON TRUCK...NO HOSE REELS. THIS TRUCK DRIVES AND OPERATES SO SMOOTHLY ITS HARD TO BELIVE ITS A 1960 RIG.... GOLD LEAF WAS REDONE BY LEGENDARY GOLD LEAF ARTIST WILD BILL WISSLEAD...AND IT IS BREATH TAKING.

GOOD LUCK BIDDERS!!!!On Sep-20-18 at 18:00:30 PDT, seller added the following information: UPDATE :1. Had a request for engine/trans info etc.... I told you this truck was well maintained... on the back of the visor was the line set ticket... looks like new. I've included a picture for everyone. Had a ton of people ask if this truck is famous Or in a book. The answer is yes. It's featured in the legendary fire apparatus book AMERICAN FIRE APPARATUS PHOTO ARCHIVE by Richard Gergel. I've included a picture for your reference. I don't mind telling you.... flopping that book open next to the truck at a show usually influences the judges in your favor. Good luck bidders!
