Gordon,

Thanks for the Cover June 2014 Cover!

I've dropped the price to $5,000.

Just looking once more to see if there is any interest in the W500 I have. Needing to gain some room in the shop. If no one is interested I've decided to scrap the firetruck bed and pump.

I totally understand you wanting to get rid of the firebed/pump. Sometimes less is more.

Yea, had planned on just pulling the pump and making a rolling Power Wagon Event Cooking unit, but not sure I like that route now. Pulling the bed and pump might make it more desirable to a buyer and open up some room for me in the shop.

It would make a heck of a flat bed 4x4.

Yes it would, I've thought about putting one on it along with either a modern Hemi or 6BT and haul my Power Wagon.

[Matthew Welcher PWA]

Will, that my friend is an amazing idea!

[dougdodgeman]

For what it's worth, my vote is for the 6BT!!!!!! Doug

[W_A_Watson_II]

Yea, the 6BT would make the most since, but based on usage and cost effectiveness, the Modern Hemi would be most cost effective.

Put a trailer hitch on it and haul Two Power Wagons!

[Hobcobble]

I'd stick with the 361 myself. The only other thing I'd
do immediately would be to remove those front fender
skirts and open those wheel wells back up.
John

[W_A_Watson_II]

I've pulled one fender skirt already, and yes it does look much better that way.

[Hobcobble]

Cool!.... That does look much better.
John

[712edf]

I agree with John..... That skirt made the truck look foreign/European.
