Parting out a pair of M530 fire trucks

[JDToumanian]

Hello Group,
I am parting out a pair of M530 deuce fire trucks for a friend who does not have the time or interest in pulling little bits and pieces... He uses a torch, not a wrench, but recognizes that collectors will likely want a lot of stuff off these. I tried to talk him into selling them intact rather than part them out, and if someone is interested in a complete truck, act quickly and I will ask him what he wants for the whole thing - he would probably do it. They are very rusty though.... Most of the sheet metal has holes in it. They are also both rather crunched up, as the pictures show. One engine is complete and would probably run, it's a White with D-turbo. The other engine is incomplete. Both have air assisted steering. All PTOs, pumps, etc. are intact. Lots of gauges and valves...

You can post what you want here or send me a PM, I will make lists and then ask the owner for prices, and I will be doing the pulling and shipping, etc. I hate to do it, and I wanted to buy one of them myself, but I try to be positive and think, "Some trucks must die so that others may live..."

Regards,
Jon

Looks like it has some nice spot lights. Mabey the same as tow trucks?

 

[BFR]

which engines do they have?

 

[doghead]

BFR, don't you need the t-case pto, for your knuckleboom?

 

[JDToumanian]

I forgot to look to see if they were -1Cs or -1Ds... I'll get back to you on that.

USMC Frank is going to want whatever is left of the roof strobe and the brush guard for it... I'll pick it up for him if need be...

Thanks Jon for offering to save those trucks! I'm sure Jason (Arkansas) appreciates it, I have seen his fire truck project.
On behalf of others, do you have a place to store them if somebody decided to pay for one or both (not me), just asking...?

Edit: BTW, do they have radiator shutters or was that a different firetruck ...I have some info on that somewhere...?

It's a shame you don't see many of them .

 

[Lonesome715]

Why is it the trucks I seek always pop up on the other side of the damn country?

 

[citizensoldier]

I am interested in a rear PTO if they are not spoken for yet. PM with a price.. Need the linkage too..

 

[FrankUSMC]

I will want the light and the guard off the roof. Jetnoise400 will pick up for me.
Also, see what he wants for all the storage doors (compartment doors) on the side of the trucks. I will PM Jetnoise about picking them up.
Thanks.
Jetnoise, your pile of parts is now getting bigger here......

Hey Guys,
I got a lot of PMs, I'll check on prices and get more detailed pictures of some items and get back to everyone ASAP... I should be able to go over to the lot and see them again on Monday, I'll report back then.

On behalf of others, do you have a place to store them if somebody decided to pay for one or both (not me), just asking...?

Absolutely - I could towbar one to my house and keep it here if needed, but in a few days it will be too late - The front axles are going to be cut out, they are spoken for.

BTW, do they have radiator shutters or was that a different firetruck

No, that would have been cool though... One set for you, one set for me!

Also, see what he wants for all the storage doors (compartment doors) on the side of the trucks.

There's a lot of interest in the doors, I got PMs for these too... I am going to get closer pictures, as some of the doors are rusty. Also, on the top of one of the trucks, there is a big pile of doors, I need to see what they are for and what their condition is.

how much for the power steering kit

 

[jesusgatos]

Has anyone bought the hard top yet? If not, how much? I'd also be interested in a complete power steering kit.

If you have other PMs on the side compartment doors, then I will withdraw my offer for them. Let them go to some one that needs them. My doors are ok, I wanted the doors as extras. I saw in the photos that the doors were still there and did not want to see them get crushed.
As a side note on the side doors to other M530 owners, keep the hinges will oiled, if not the sheet area around the door will bend. That is the one area we had problems with on the M530 during the time I drove them.
