They should all take the sideboards. Seems to be a screwup. Are they Pribbs beds?

The 133rd Maintaince Company was a NG unit located in Peekskill NY. It's now shut down. The 133rd did deploy to Operation Desert Storm. PM me the serial # of the truck, and any other info you may have. If your lucky, I may be able to get you some VERY detailed info on it. The was/is...

They list the cab cover kits. Look under Medium Truck.

Why not call GMA and ask? Im sure they know, they basically invented them.

All the trucks and trailers that I have overseen going onto military aircraft (C5A's and KC135's), every axle is weighed, and CG is determined by the loadmaster for weight/balance positioning on the aircraft. They dont use the dataplate info what so ever. Anyone who has deployed on MIL AIR...

Dont forget about sideboards, tarp, and bows....

Any chief worth his bugles should be VERY familiar with NFPA. Maybe not ever single little detail , but they should atleast know what general area of NFPA deals with what subjects, and where to get the details. If he's not, I wouldnt go on any fireground he/she is in command of. Bottom...

This place has NO idea what they are in for..............

Yes taxes are high everywhere, but go look what a lawsuit will cost you. Go settle a suit for a few million.... You probably could of bought a few dozen brush trucks with the settlement to the family of the deceased. All of my depts apparatus is paid off the day it backs into the station...

If youe chief cared about about his FF's safety, he's be embracing a new piece of apparatus, not saying no to it. Do you guys fight structure fires in 3/4 boots and long coats too? Have you applied for any AFG grants? If your dept is out trying to build a piece of apparatus, that...

If fun = dangerous, then I guess your all set. Did you apply for an AFG grant for a brush truck?
