1975 Crown 50' Telesquirt
I managed to finally get to chrome the axe brackets behind the jumpseats that can now be seen better now with the old chrome bars removed and grab handles installed. These were taken today at our house before I took her back to the garage.

There is a truck in our club, it's a '77 Maxim Ladder Truck with a chrome exhaust tip and it looks nice. Now for the working truck it's probably not needed, but for decorative purposes, parades, static displays and stuff I think it's going to look awesome. So tomorrow ( Weds ) I am having a Chrome extension put on my exhaust. 10" long by 5" diameter, pics to follow once installed.

Back in late September, you posted a message in the trading section for a Federal electronic siren. I think i still have an Interceptor model that's in pretty good shape. I moved recently and I'm not 100% sure if I kept it. But based on the condition, I should have it. Let me know if you still need a siren.

Lindsay, I changed out the exhaust end, from the old pipe to a chrome one, but I keep forgetting to take the pics outside, so here is one outside at the shop with the old exhaust tip, and then I'll post one up with the new tip. Frank

The Crown and I will be out at a open house for the Largo FD and Chili Cook Off. Should be fun, little warm. Looking forward to it and will post some pics later.

Thank you to the Largo FD, every member for making me feel right at home today as I attended their open house and chili cook off. Truck rides, vehicle extrication demonstration, bayflight helicopter came in, just a great way to spend a Sat night out with the Crown. I will post Crown pics first. then some shots of Largo's rigs. It was a very busy time cause they were getting ready for setting up. So I got pics of the trucks, but not particulars. All very nice eqpt !!!!!!!
