There is an older IH firetruck of about the same size for sale here in Jefferson City, MO.
I'd guess it is from the mid 70's. It has the wrap around winshield shared with the pickups of the mid-60's so the fire truck could be as old as that. It was used at Jefferson City Airport until the late 1990's. It has been sitting for sale at a mobile home dealer ever since. Probbaly becuase they are terrible salesman. I tried to buy a 1970 Newell/Streamline motorcoach from them. I was ready to buy it, but they were so obnoxious, it never happened. Their number is 573-634-7666.
Anyway, I have always thought the IH was a good looking truck. It does not have duals on the rear. It has some special looking disc wheels with wide tires on all four corners. It has a water cannon mounted above and just behind the cab.
