🚒 1987 Ford 8000 E-1 Fire Truck – CAT 3208 • Allison Auto • 1250 GPM Hale Pump

 

A dependable, well-built classic fire apparatus ready for service, conversion, or collection. This 1987 Ford 8000 E-1 is powered by the legendary CAT 3208 diesel paired with a smooth Allison automatic transmission, offering strong, reliable performance. Whether you’re a department looking for a budget-friendly pumper, a contractor needing a high-capacity water unit, or an enthusiast seeking a solid platform for a project, this truck delivers.

🔧 Key Features

  • CAT 3208 Diesel — Known for durability, torque, and simple mechanical reliability

  • Allison Automatic Transmission — Easy to operate, ideal for training or multi-driver fleets

  • 1250 GPM Hale Pump — Strong, dependable pump performance for fire suppression or water transfer

  • E-1 Body Construction — Heavy-duty aluminum build, corrosion-resistant, long service life

  • Full complement of pump controls, gauges, and plumbing

  • Large side compartments for gear and equipment

  • Air brakes, dual rear wheels, and commercial-grade chassis

🚨 Condition

  • Starts, runs, and drives well

  • Pump engages and operates properly

  • Body and frame in solid condition for its age

  • some small rust issues 
  • Ideal for rural departments, industrial sites, water-hauling operations, or conversion projects (brush truck, tanker, parade rig, etc.)

💡 Why This Truck Stands Out

This Ford/E-1 combination is known for being simple to maintain, mechanically tough, and cost-effective compared to newer electronic rigs. The CAT 3208 and Allison pairing is a proven workhorse setup that many departments still trust today.


All loose equipment and Fire hose will be removed from truck.
