It is still a truck! Rides hard from what I have seen of them. Not for older guys comfort either!!

[quote name='gravenut74' post='146469' date='Sep 6 2007, 18:52 ']the reason they don't have anymore stripes is because they are leased vehicles so they just do basic lighting and lettering the same goes for Baltimore County that is why all of our chief cars and brush trucks are all white and not red they just lease and put on the basics then throw it in service its cheeper to lease[/quote]
The door decal and the LEDs that are drilled thru the sheetmetal on the fenders probably cause a lot more damage than a stripe would, but I'm not a professional detailer...
This is a new Truck for Staff 9, that's about to enter service. FYI Staff 9 is a unit that goes around doing repairs at BCFD Fire Houses. For all you Baltimore Boys.

Yesterday, I arranged through the higher ups in the BCFD to photograph all 4 New Pierce Dash Tiller Trucks, and 2 New International/PL Custom Air Units. After getting it arranged I had to find a proper spot that would allow me room to get all 4 tillers in the same spot. So without further ado. I give you Baltimore's New Toys.
1st up is Truck 10
