This rig is painted more of a maroon color due to being the only color the local Ford dealer had in stock. Rather than spend extra money for repainting, Toyne matched the body color with the chassis.

Just spoke with some firefighters from Morrisville today and they told me it was original to Atlantic H&L, Port Washington,LINY. Does anyone have a shot of it from there?

Quote:North Wilkesboro had to undergo several modifications just to park T2105 in the station. Our driver told us the bay floor had to be dug up twice and the front pad had to be lowered about 8" so the bucket wouldn't clip the bay door when leaving because of the slope. Here was the snorkel trying to back in.
As always, great to see photos from that area!
Was this pic photoshopped around the center pillar and front tire, or is he about to hit the pillar?

Quote:That does look a bit funky, but I think it's an illusion, not a photoshop job. The front tire is on concrete that is lower than the concrete the pillar is sitting on. The truck is going behind the pillar and the yellow paint shows where the original ramp slopes down to the new lowered ramp.

Dave hit it on the head. The picture just makes it look like he was going to hit the pillar, although it is very close on each side when backing in. The yellow paint just shows the grade difference from the original front pad.

Thanks guys, I studied that one over and over, but Dave's explanation makes sense.

If you look at the tire sidewall,it's on the edge of the yellow area. Then the edge of the yellow is even with the side of the pillar away from the unit. Also,the tire is "covering" the corner base of the doorway.Shouldn't the tire be "behind" base? Could go either way,I guess.

Also,the tire is "covering" the corner base of the doorway.Shouldn't the tire be "behind" base? Could go either way,I guess.I think the shadow of the tire is throwing you off. The red "tire bumper" in the near bay is at floor level, but it's a good 5-6" above the floor in the bay he's backing into. The yellow painted areas indicate a sloped surface. Out by the street, the slope is very little, but gets gradually steeper as you approach the front of the building. At the pillar, it is almost vertical and it wraps around the underside of the red "tire bumper" in the bay opening. If you look at the point where the tire touches the ramp then follow it straight back, keeping the same angle as the floor, you will see that it clears the opening.
