Default M813 Fire truck update

I wanted to post a couple of pictures for y'all and let you review the work that we have done so far on our fire truck. The welder that we are using is in high demand so it has taken him several weeks to get to us. What we are working on is a 1,200 gallon brush/grass truck. We purchased the truck and tanks thru a Texas government agency and have had it for about 3 months. Alot of the older brushfire rigs has a platform on the front of the truck for a firefighter to stand on. Nowadays, The government is in a push to get people off of the front. So we have modified this bed to accomidate a person behind the cab. The pictures only show one tank in the truck but we will have two. The welder is almost done so the next step is the soda blaster then on to the paint booth. And against my better judgement, it is not going to be green.. Hopefully, it will go much faster from this point on. I will keep you updated

Chad

Nice truck. Will the pump be powered off of a PTO or is it self contained?
