That was listed a few weeks ago with a smoking Cat 3208 "needs rings" Ex F.D. tanker

[fifth wheel]

With the lift points and door data plates I would say Government issue, had some 3208 powered Macks.

Its an ex military refueling truck there is a lot of them sitting out in GSA yards like the one in goldsby Oklahoma nice units if you can get them directly from the government before the fire departments get a hold of them.

I wonder how much weight made it up to that 20k front axle with the tank sitting way back yonder. Anyone know why it was spec'd with such a long wheelbase and the space between the cab and tank?

I see the roof vent was deleted at the factory and the tach doesn't have an hours indicator. You can tell it was Gov't owned because the radio was removed to provide a hole for a toggle switch.

Here is a real nice one that sold a while back on the GSA I should have bought this one.

Before it became a fire dept tanker, it was a military refueler. Tanks and pumps took up all the space behind the cab.

There was Air force military refueler near me. Muffler was under front bumper and had no dog house. Pretty interesting truck but I'll pass on the 3208
