Used/See Description

1996 Spartan Metro Star, 8.3L L6 DIESEL.

This truck has a Spartan chassis with a Welch fire body.

Starts, runs, and operates.
Maintained while in service.
Selling due to replacement plan with new.

We are a small rural/urban department that has been growing over the years. This truck was purchased new and has served the City of Bondurant well.

1500 GPM Hale pump (last certification date was 12/23/2024).
750 gallons of water on board
30 gallon foam tank with foam induction system plumbed to two cross lays.

Has (2) 1-3/4" cross lays and (1) 2-1/2" cross lay.

The lighting and siren package has been updated to modern LED lights and dual electric sirens.

It is a low mileage unit with only 2324 hours on it.

The tires are in fair shape but should be replaced based on age.

It has an automatic transmission, differential lock, air brakes, air ride drivers seat, and heated mirrors.

The lower compartment doors were replaced with stainless steel compartment doors due to corrosion from the inside of the doors outward. We were told by the body shop that it was a design flaw and the insulation on the door trapped moisture in. The stainless doors are non-insulated to prevent any further issues. The upper doors did not have any issues and were not replaced.
