Owning a fire truck would be awesome – who among us as a kid wasn’t awestruck at seeing a fire truck in a parade or in action? – but there are a couple hidden expenses with owning and operating one, even one such as this 1962 Ford F750. First, you’ve gotta stock up on candy to throw to the kids along the parade route. Second, you must install a brass pole somewhere in your house or garage. It’s required. By law. From the seller’s description:

1962 Ford F 750 American LaFrance fire pumper. 352 V8, 5 speed, 750 gpm (just tested), hose reel, monitor, 5950 original miles, truck actually has less because the speedometer registers while pumping. Original 8.25×20 tires, Truck has never sat outside or in the cold. Just came out of service. This truck would be an easy restoration project. It is in excellent shape
