Spartan GT-One

The Spartan GT-One was a custom chassis built by Spartan Motors. It was offered from 1995 to 1997.
==History and specifications==
The Spartan GT-One introduced in 1995 as the successor of the Spartan Diamond, like its predecessor the GT-One was an economical chassis, with the Spartan Silent Knight it was one of only two rear-engine custom chassis offered by Spartan over the years.
The standard engine, mounted behind the rear axle, was a 6.6 liter, 300-horsepower Caterpillar 3116 which was paired with an Allison MD3060 electronic automatic transmission.
Only one cab configuration was available, it was a 10 inch raised roof cab with an 87 inch overall width. This allowed additional headroom for the driver and the officer. This cab offered seats for seven firefighters, three in the front and four in the back, all facing forward. Being a rear-engine, the cab had a flat floor throughout. In a change from its normal design the GT One had smaller tires which eliminated the need for wheel wells.
The chassis was designed to have the fire pump in the rear, the pump was driven directly by the engine crankshaft. This allowed the pump to be operated while driving or while the transmission was in neutral.
The GT-One was a more difficult chassis for many body manufacturers to work with and due to lack of demand, Spartan discontinued the GT-One in 1997. Only 30 to 40 chassis were built.
===Cab configuration===
*LSMFDR - 10-Inch raised roof
The GT-One had a wheel center to back of cab measurement of 54 inches. This matched the measurement of an SMFD (Short Medium Four Door). It also had an extension behind the rear door, just like the LFD (Long Four Door. Thus the LSMFDR moniker.
