Here is Mt. Morris tower 5759 which came used from out in new york. This is a gorgeous truck according to chief Rob Hough IV the truck was in for repainting approximately 2 weeks longer because they had to completely sand off all of the wax this truck had wax in the wheel wells and the paint would not stick. This truck is in prestige condition and is a beauty.
