1961 Ford Other Pickups -- Additional Info:

1961 Ford F 250 4X4 Conversion Airport Fire Rescue Truck Project offered by Gas Monkey Garage *** NO RESERVE **! This is one very unique and rare truck(I've never seen one) that started life as a 1961 F250 4X2 built at the Mawah plant in Dec 1960 with the 292 CID V8 and Automatic Transmission. It was converted to 4X4 with the addition of a Rockwell Standard Corporation kit that has U.S ARMY stamped on the ID plate. There is a Braden Winch driven off of the PTO. From the cowl back the body is a purpose built aluminum coach that was specially outfitted for Fire Rescue with multiple access doors and panels along with several hand operable spot lamps. There is still a C.B. (Chlorobromomethane) tank present along with the operating instructions for filling and using it. The rear bed is outfitted with a very unique arrangement with access doors on either side and 2X large rear doors that reveal storage shelves and a separate lower bed storage area. The cab has a single driver's side door and an additional storage access hatch behind the passenger's door. The body is in remarkable condition for a service vehicle of this nature with some minor nicks and dents (see all 100 pics). There is some rust present where the original steel body and floor meet the aluminum coach work visible in pics that should be fairly easy to remedy. The original 292 V8 engine and automatic transmission are present and while the truck was started to load it on a trailer for transport here to the shop, we have not attempted to start it (the ignition switch has been by-passed with a series of switches) therefore no mechanical assessment of the PTO winch, engine, transmission or any other system has been made (due to our filming schedule we are unable to perform any additional work on this vehicle for you SOLD AS IS/WHERE IS! Undersides pics reveal a fairly solid chassis with superficial rust present on most of the steel components with the original split rims outfitted with a set of aggressive off road tires showing quite a bit of tread. This 1961 Ford F 250 4X4 Conversion Fire Rescue Truck should be completely serviced prior to attempting to start or any extended driving to ensure safety and reliability and due to our filming schedule we are unable to perform any additional work on this car for you (SOLD AS IS/ WHERE IS).
