I would like to see more pics and mechanical details of your truck-she looks like a beauty... I was talking to a friend that is a driver for the local FD and I was literally drooling over his truck and the number of buttons, levers, knobs, sensors, valves, gauges, etc. etc. etc. and then reality set in... unless you go to continuing education courses for FD mechanics regularly and have $$$ for diagnostic equipment and parts, a private party or a small company cannot even begin to dream of owning a beast like this... even if someone gave it to you as a gift... my truck is almost 40 years old and it works about as well as it did when it was brand new. The truck I was oggling today is 4 years old. I would venture to guess that in a couple of years, she will be put out to pasture.. Just my 2 bits... Gotta love a deuce... specially a fire truck deuce
