    Updated photos 5/26/2015: The chassis is essentially complete and has been moved over to the body fabrication facility. Note that the front bumper has been coated with the rhino-liner like spray on material, in black. It looks pretty good, I hope the stuff is as tough as they say it is.

    I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding. I was brought up slinging chains for my old man on weekends and in the summer when he was not trucking, he was operating a Holmes 750 on a GMC chassis for the local guy who had the municipal wreck account. Now you have a wrecker to go with the roll back.....That's horrible, my heart bleeds for you....LOL

    The front bumper (which will have a 100' trash line/car fire line) will also be coated with the material. They will also color the liquid to the same color as your paint if you want....for a substantial upcharge.......I cannot remember for the life of me if we opted to color it or keep it black though.

    May 20, 2015. Work progresses. Most of the major cab work is done. For you Fire Department Spec-Writing guys, note the back of the cab- we spec'd a Rhino-Liner type material to be sprayed on. No one ever sees the back of the cab, so why paint it, and why waste money on diamondplate? Some neighbors of ours did it three years ago on their new pumper and they love it, so we stole borrowed the idea. The discharge valves and foam system is being installed on/around the pump. The Body Plant is 75% done cutting the body panels, and assembly is scheduled to begin on Tuesday 5/26.

    I actually like LED's from a maintenance and amp draw standpoint. However they just dont look right in a mars light. You can still get halogen lamps in them though.
  16. 1958 F.W.D.
    Yes and like the dumbass propeller lights, they have LED's
  17. 1958 F.W.D.
    May 15, 2015. The cab has been dropped onto the chassis.

    Mars lights much better. Had three of em on our 78 Hahn. Those and the Q cleared traffic in front of it like Moses parting the red sea.
  19. 1958 F.W.D.
    If it doesn't have a Q, it's an overgrown cop car. (and those E-Q's don't count.)

    Unfortunately yes it is getting one of those godforsaken pieces of shit.

    iaff5045: Originally delivered new to FDNY, then went to 2 depts in Pa. Then to private ownership in Va. Now in Camden NJ in private ownership by a very close friend of mine and his son who have an extensive collection of apparatus.

    Very well used...........

    I'mm gonna form a new business: "Mack mhe9 Load Brokering, LLC." How's south Camden? Which aroma were you getting- the sewage plant or the bacon plant?

    Photo update, May 12 2015: Chassis has been moved into the assembly shop, and the ISL Cummins and AVS3000 has been installed. The cab fitout and wiring continues.
