We bought this truck to fix up and cant find any data plate or id. Has anyone seen one and if so know where. I need to find a service and operators manual. I could use any info as I'm at a brick wall and need a ladder to get over it.

The Code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.

My guess is a combination ARFF/Structural unit. Looks too new to be a Walter chassis. Does not appear to be an Oshkosh. Looks similar to units used in the antarctic or other regions with extremely heavy snows. Check with those manufacturers.Last edited by FWDbuff; 01-09-2011, 12:37 PM."Loyalty Above all Else.

I'm thinking ex-military? Maybe not ours?I am now a past chief and the views, opinions, and comments are mine and mine alone. I do not speak for any department or in any official capacity. Although, they would be smart to listen to me.

I am not sure. It is clearly an IH door handle, but much of it looks like sort of an experiment. The place where it is sitting does some fancy off road equipment, so perhaps they are the original poster.

Nowhere does the OP state it is a fire department, so this may be a project for them, or it may be something they put together.

Maybe it is a one-off or prototype. Also, for being an ARFF truck I see no turrets, although they could have been removed at some point.

Ok, found this site. http://www.dodfire.com/ I went through the entire site, looked at every picture of every truck and didn't see this truck. However I did find a photo of an articulating truck built on a Cat dirt mover style body.

To me, the lack of turrets, what appears to be the lack of a pump engine, (at least a LARGE pump engine) and the overall size, I don't think it is is ARFF.
With a smaller engine for a pump I could see a wildland rig. Maybe something from SVI there in CO.
But just looking at the front, something cries out to me, SNOW. I know, no tracks, but it just looks like the front end of something you would see going through a snowbank.
