Thanks for the info, Frank. I did not feel the quake at work in Lakewood, NJ. However, other employees did get the jolt and we were all ordered out of the building and then sent home early. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

The chassis if running is also worth a few grand. You can see this going on now, people purchasing older commercial chassis fire trucks just for the chassis to make a vintage pick up truck.
