    What's your definition of "relatively young"? Most of the retired tankers I have posted are over 25 years old. When I add the "(retired)" to my post, I am indicating that the rig is no longer in active service with that Fire Department. It could very well be in service somewhere else. There are many reasons they get replaced, including age, need, manual transmission, CDL requirements, and funding. Some that were strictly water carriers have been replaced by pumper-tankers that combined two apparatus into one, eliminating the need for that second or third pumper in the fleet.

    Your abilities were never any part of my comment, it was strictly your choice of project. As for the Pink trucks, the vast majority of them (several dozen across the US) are painted pink to raise awareness and funding for breast cancer research. A closer look at these rigs will reveal that they are covered in handwritten signatures of cancer survivors and memorials of those who did not. I, among many others in the fire apparatus crowd, fully support this endeavor.

    Thank you! As to your questions, I'm not sure how to respond. The CF chassis was available with nine choices of Mack diesel engine and one Mack gas engine. Both automatic and manual transmissions could be had. Removing the "back end" of a fire apparatus is blasphemy among apparatus folks, those who strive to preserve apparatus. Most "butcher jobs" like you suggest are met with hostility from my crowd.

    I will be leaving on another road trip in the morning, so I will not be posting again until the end of the month. Take care!
