Quote:That's a different hose bed cover, roll down door. How rare is that? And how well does it hold up under heavy use I wonder.

Gun Barrel City isn't very large, so it may not get very much usage. (Could be wrong, Just speculating) But you're right. It has to be pretty rare, I can't think of another truck with such a lay out. 

 

And a side note, the Quest is such a goofy looking truck to me. Looks like a kids toy. 

 

Thanks for sharing

Quote:The quest doesn't look too bad I think they look better than some of the other newer style cabs out there.

Quote:There have been a few of these built by several manufacturers. Most of the roll up door companies offer them now. Some deploy quicker than others but for the most part are not widely used mostly due to cost I know we priced one and they are considerably more expensive than just tarps or diamond plate covers (one to cover out hosebed on our Pierce saber was priced at $18,000.00) needless to say we just went with a tarp cover..lol. I would imagine they hold up pretty well all they are is just an oversized compartment roll up door that covers your hose bed.

Quote:Need a little bit of help, guys!  Found this in my collection, and can't figure out which Department it is from.  It was with some vintage Houston rigs, so I am fairly certain its in the Houston area.  Any Ideas??

 

Thanks,
