In addition, there are the newer chevy CUCV's coming available through surplus and they are much easier to find stock parts for. There are still some fire departments that like the 715 because they will go places other trucks won't, but that kind of terrain issue is less common. The way the system works, generally, . . . is that when the military decides it is not needed, it makes it available to other government agencies, generally through GSA. After GSA shuffles it around until noone wants it anymore, . .then it goes to auction. In general, most of the time if a fire dept. gets a truck "free" if they decide they don't want it anymore, they are supposed to give it back to GSA, but after a certain amount of time, as I understand it, . .GSA will release it and let the FD sell it themselves. . . .FWIW, that is my understanding of how the system runs, . . .feel free to correct me if I have been misled. . .
