I saw this on bringatrailer, and it's screaming for somebody with more money and talent than me to turn it into an expedition rig:

Chubb trucks were designed and built in the UK - to the best of my knowledge they no longer manufacture fire apparatus. Getting ANY parts for that could be a logistical nightmare.
Hence why it's probably for sale.
Actually, firetrucks have a finite life expectancy - 20 years for most - before they are put out to pasture. They can be made whole again, most often through a total refurbishment and resold for about 1/3 the cost of new, but still.
Why is this? Is it because the trucks begin to become maintenance pigs around that time? I don't know what my departments policy is because I've never asked but it seems like when our trucks get to about 15 years old they rotate them into reserve status if they were at a slower station, if they were at a busy station and had some miles on them we just get rid of them.

Cool truck. Most of the parts on this should be pretty easy to get at a good truck shop.
The length of the chassis is perfect for a camper like an earth roamer or blissmobile.
