With the seat like that you should be smiling from the time you climb in it till the time you climb out .

My old M50A2 water truck has a piece of foam that sits on top of plywood, no suspension and I spend close to 12 hours a day in that on fires, I know that's my own fault, I definitely need to upgrade, make sure the brakes work good and enjoy the trip !

Day one report.

120 miles in and I got pulled over with a warning for impeding traffic, and the state trooper telling me these trucks are not legal in Colorado, I was lucky mine is registered in Texas so he let me off with a warning. 260 miles in, a fuel return line split. Took an hour for my better half to drive to Napa and get a few new ones.

Made it to Pampa Texas around 9:45. Average speed of 53mph.
