Found the following ad in yesterday's local paper:

"Okanogan County Rural Fire District #5 Commissioners have declared a 1954 GMC 6x6 Tanker 44502 as surplus and advertising it for sale.
Send sealed bids marked GMC Bids to Phil Brownlee, Commissioner, Box 395, Pateros, WA 98846
The truck is located at Pateros, Washington.
The Commissioners reserve the right to reject any or all bids. Bid opening will be Monday, June 8, 1998, 7:30 p.m. at the Pateros City Hall."

I have seen the truck, but not close-up. The tank has been removed, so it is a chassis & cab only rig. There is a hard top. It is painted yellow. There does not appear to be any rust. All 10 tires look good, but the spare is bad. A friend of mine who is a professional mechanic and a member of the volunteer fire department says the truck is in good shape.

I am not interested in bidding because of a lack of space and cash. I wanted to let the list know so maybe this truck can be preserved.

I am going this morning to take some digital pictures. I will try to post them on my web site later today.
