    time consuming work !!

    As of today, the 813 still has no paint on it. Actually, we had a man come out and take all of the wheels off so that we could prepare the under carriage for paint. So as it stands (or sits) on six large jack stands, we are going to try and shoot it tomarrow, weather permitting. Seems like...

    Electric shut-off for Cummins 250

    Anybody know where the best place to buy an electric shut-off for a cummins 250? I was told that mine is "stuck" and should probably be replaced. We are having to use the manual engine stop cable and this is turning out to be a pain because it has to be manually reset under the hood each time...

    firetruck is no longer green

    Hey Jon, Thanks for the comment. We paid $2,000 to get all of the paint knocked off. It was expensive but it was ALOT of work for this guy to get it all off. It took him 3 full days to get it done, sun-up til sun-down. There was a couple of places that the baking soda wouldn't penetrate the...

    tilt/rollover point

    We plan on leaving the bed on the truck but I definately agree with you general on setting the tanks directly on the frame. I was going to put a picture on here but cant figure out how ..

    tilt/rollover point

    I do plan on putting an inclinomater or LevO Guage in there like in the pictures posted above. The truck does have duals on the rear and they are 11X20's.
