Ford F-350 4x4 ex-fire department

Ford F-350 1989 Description

Truck is being auctioned by a volunteer fire department that purchased the vehicle new in 1989 to haul their refurbished 1927 Seagrave firetruck. No trailer to haul the refurbished truck was ever purchased and after two years of not utilizing the pickup the department decided to convert it to brush truck. The pickup was utilized as a second brush truck until 2008 when it replaced by a newer brush unit. The department kept the truck and used it for the hydrant maintenance program and added a Western snow plow to use for snow removal during inclement weather. Because there were several areas of severe paint wear around the rear cab (from rubber forestry hose rubbing against it) the department chose to repaint the vehicle in Chevrolet Victory Red before adding needed reflective vinyl stripes. A replacement truck was placed in service in January 2017 and the truck was decommissioned (emergency lighting removed and reflective vinyl removed). Some "ghosting" remains from vinyl (we have tried to show this in the pic that shows the left-front quarter panel up close). There are holes in the roof where an emergency light bar and antenna were once mounted; these have been properly filled with grommets and silicone. This truck has spent 95% of it's life garaged inside the fire station and has zero rust. The body is straight; truck has never been involved in a motor vehicle crash. The tailgate has been replaced with aftermarket tailgate after someone used the wrong ball size and an enclosed trailer lifted off the hitch and struck the original tailgate several years ago. Front interior bed has crease from truck box sliding towards cab. This truck has been maintained by a municipal shop who took care of all preventative maintenance and repairs. Tires have less than 3,000 miles on them and show no sign of wear. Mileage shows 41,390 but may not be actual mileage (only shows five numbers on odometer). Truck is equipped with electronic brake, AM/FM radio, manual door locks, dual fuel tanks, sliding rear glass, and roll-in bed liner. Passenger side door armrest/handle broke last year and no replacement could be found; wooden replacement was engineered and installed. Snow plow and controls are included in purchase. Buyer is responsible for shipping and must have truck off lot within 10 business days of auctions end. Additional pictures can be provided via text or email at request. Truck can be seen and started (no test drives due to insurance) by visiting 315 Bedford Avenue; Bedford VA 24523 Monday-Friday.
