This 1966 GMC utility truck was purchased by the phone company in Richland, NJ.  The company deemed that they bought one truck too many, and gave this truck - in a horrid shade of greenish gold - to the Richland Fire Department.    It was not equipped with any emergency or fire fighting equipment other than a generator on the driver side which may have been added after the fire department took ownership.  The interior and the engine compartment was still greenish-gold when I bought it.  I was advised by a friend that it was for sale near Chicago by a police officer.  I bought it and it was shipped to Florida.  It arrived the day I sold my 1968 Cadillac ambulance.

I sold the truck on eBay to a truck dealer in St. Petersburg, FL. They sold it to a volunteer FD chief (Indian Rocks FL)I sold the truck on eBay to a truck dealer in St. Petersburg, FL. They sold it to a volunteer FD chief (Indian Rocks FL)
