Better pics

My rural FD had two HMMWV's, one was set up as a grass truck with a 150 gal tank pressurized by SCBA's, the other carried a stokes and tools for grass fires. The one in the pic is the latter. The grass unit had the rear hatch removed and had a snap on vinyl tarp. They got them some time in...

I feel for you. I wish every fire district would support their fire dept the way ours does. We've been able to get all our old stuff replaced. As a matter of fact we're going up to Pierce in Wis. next week for a pre-build on our new truck. It will replace an '85 GMC. Our oldest piece will...

An option for you to look at is the Tri-Max CAFS system. It uses up to a 200 gal tank with SCUBA bottles to charge the system. They're not real cheap, but they put out a LOT of foam for the size of the system. And you wouldn't have the weight to deal with. But you still wouldn't have ROPS on...

An M-35 is NOT a great and easy route. With 600 gallons of water you will be OVERWEIGHT for off road. And Pods are not baffled which will increase the danger. Not to mention no ROPS. Unless they are purpose rebuilt by a commercial brush truck company, FD's should stay away from M35's. There...

The high school my kids go to is being renovated and they've done a lot of work to the performing arts part of the school. One of the "improvements" is the labeling of all the doors leading to different rooms with little placards with raised letters and braille. I assist a lot with the stage...

where the heck are those listed in the parts manual??????

Heck, sounds like he was filling up a bird feeder for Pterodactyls!!

OOOH!! Do my truck next!!! :lol:

You probably would be less likely to contract a disease behind the chicken truck.

Uh, yeah she's cute 'n all, and the music's okay and I like the bang bang, but the video is kinda boring and pointless. You need some kind of story line.

What was wrong with the oak? Isn't that what was used originally?

A '71 would be too new to have a 4 speed. I seriously doubt any one would put in a 4 speed tranny old enough to go on a gasser, as it would be more in demand to retore an older truck to original condition.

I'll second that! Why would you want to load up a deuce with crappy beer when you could pull up to the dock at the Sam Adams brewery and get some GOOD stuff!! :razz:

I was going to suggest something else, but thinking about it. using two 10 or 12' ladders with a 2x12 attached to all the rungs would probably be quite strong. I'd use conduit clamps, two per rung the entire lenth to attach the 2x12 (I'd use carriage bolts not screws). You could throw some...

Do you have pics of the bottom of the steps?

That's what I'm doing with mine, athough I'm using spray cans and working MUCH slower. So far I have the front bumper and hardware done. :-| Your's looks awesome, thanks for the inspiration.

If you ever make another set of those steps, I'd definitely be interested. Do you have any idea on the price would be?

Well I just about got all the bumper parts painted and ready to go back on. (Still gotta locate some pieces of frame for the extention) I think I'm gonna mount it in the winch position, which made me think, why do they mount it with the narrow part up on non winch trucks? It's obvious why...

Is that an A2 or A3?? Looks like an A2 unless you reversed the headlight position.
