Dunno if it's worth it or not. I suppose that's a matter of what you want to do. There's probably a lot of more modern one ton's around with diesel engines that would be as or more useful.... and easier to get parts for, most likely. On the other hand, an old fire truck may have been well cared for, and still in good shape with not too many miles... I would be careful that this truck was not a mid-ship pumper. If it was, then you could well be into some driveline work to get it set up correctly again. I know a neighbour that converted an old Dodge back from a midship pump.... on the cheap.... and he didn't get the driveshaft right, or balance it. Needless to say, it shook. Bad. If you can handle that part of the job, you might have a nice old truck. Good luck.
