I took these several days ago. We were going thru Durant Oklahoma and overtook this train. Went by it at 60 MPH so I didn't get much opportunity to stop and look. This military train was headed to Kansas.

WOW , that is a very nice looking truck !! Ours was a dog compared to yours. I have posted these pics on several different topics but I am very proud of our truck. We just finished painting it and it is now in the shop getting the pump and plumbing put in.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Re: RE: OH YEAAAAH!!! Almost done !!
Hey Will. Sorry, didn't see you sneak in. Those Cummins decals are pretty cool. I got 2 of them at the International Fire Expo in Dallas last summer from a Cummins Dealer that was showing off the fire engine class of Cummins Diesels. I had the 813 in mind...
RE: OH YEAAAAH!!! Almost done !!
A neighboring department has a remote TFT nozzle on the front of their truck. They have a 1992 international 6X6 with a 1500 gallon tank on theirs. It seems like they go thru ALOT of water REALLY FAST with that remote nozzle. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to...
OH YEAAAAH!!! Almost done !!
Check this out !!! She's getting closer. I went and ordered the decals on Friday. Decided to use white MILITARY block letters with a black shadow. BTW, we left the inside of this truck OD.I was also going to add that we cahnged the fuel filter on this thing and...

The painter backed it out of his shop Tuesday evening and snapped these pics for me at his place.
It is 100% painted,tanks, roof and all. The only update pictures i have right this second is of the truck and roof. The tanks have been painted red and have been installed but no pics of them yet...
Nice, complete looking truck. Looks like you got your moneys worth. Buy a couple of 8D batteries and take them with you for insurance. Hope all works out well with it.

I took the 813 in yesterday to get the bed sprayed with Line-X. I have looked at several vehicles with Rhino liners but I must cay that the LineX turned out very well. It was already dark by the time I got home so unfortunately there are no pictures. I strongly recommend the LineX to anyone that...
Hey, send me a picture of what you are needing and I might have one. We replaced several parts on our 5 ton and i amy have an extra "whateveryaneed" left over.

These digital pics don't really do it much justice. This thing looks Kick A*s in person. Will, i have not replaced the parts or done any PM yet but am going to try this weekend. Thanks for the kind comments y'all.

Thanks. I appreciate that. I am trying to convince Texas Forest Service that we need super singles but they are not buying it just yet..lol. We will probably keep the NDT's on there because they are cheap and easy to replace. The fire service is very hard on tires. We drive over just about...
RE: cummins Primer pump repair.

Re: RE: any gereen iron places in dallas texas?
Probably the same guy. He lives right there off of US377 by Durant Chevrolet. His name is Bill Black and his place is actually a small ranch. I bought a 71 AM General Deuce off of him several years ago.
