We had two different local shops do the steel work, hence the different paint jobs.

We designed the WO/W deuce as a "heavy" brush truck ( the one with the walk-on front bumper ) and the W/W as a "light" brush truck.

The W/W has worked out great pulling other fire department's deuces, 5-tons, and smaller brush trucks out of the mud. We're the only one in the county with a W/W ( that works ).

Both trucks have had the exhaust re-routed w/ mufflers M35A1 style, this has worked out great. Also the W/W was a non-turbo truck, we added a "D" turbo to it a few months back.
