Haha. I like the way you think! I just pulled up at my bro’s house and my nieces ask why the Ghostbusters car was here.

Welcome aboard from abroad Tradera mate!
Yep, we’ve got an identical 1988 (13,000km) one over here too. I managed to get in touch with GMC Japan years ago (firetruck modifiers/manufacturers of ours) and kindly received a translated operations manual. It’s a little hard to understand the translation but happy to forward you a copy if you’d like mate?
Cheers Mark

Man, that'd be a lifesaver. My buddy wants to hook the pumper up to his tractor to use it on his farm. Believe it or not, hard to find anyone speaking Japanese here in The Appalachian Mts...

Haha, can imagine for sure mate :-)
Please do give me a reminder next week and I’ll scan it to either send to an email address of yours or try and work out how to post it up here.

Started tearing into the pumper bed today. Heavy stuff, hopefully the Safari will be a couple thousand pounds lighter tomorrow.

Got the pumper off finally! This thing rides like a logging truck without all the weight. Gonna get a bed from my buddy that’s parting out his rock buggy and then off to lighten those leaf springs up.
