Here are some pictures of the Elder Abuse Awareness truck I have been bulding for the office. It is in the process of having the lettering painted on it in the next few days. Tell me what you think.

You are correct. Since I was not trying to duplicate any particular gun truck, I thought it would stand out a little more with the 395's.

I don't know, I think a 5 ton might be more than I want to tackle right now. And with the State in such a screwed up mess I've got to come up with another funding source for another truck. This one and the pink one are going to be in the State Fair parade and possibly on display at the fair for a few days.

Very nice indeed.
Is the quad 50 a repro?
Where is it from?
Is there a thread on it?

The paint is Rustoleum flat black and the red is regal red I believe. The quad 50's belong to a local village and American Legion post. They purchased them together back in the 60's. I get to use them throughout the parade season and will return them this fall and pick them up again in the spring.
