I'd tend to agree, that font style makes those numbers difficult to discern from a distance. We had less input on graphics than just about any other aspect of these rigs. Also, about a month ago the fire chief decided he wanted the numbers to be installed on removable placards. I think Pierce said at that stage in the game it would have been an addition $750 per unit, so that got dropped. If I were up to me, these rigs would all be painted solid red, with a single white stripe. Nice big clear numbers, the ACTUAL department patch on the door, and call it a day.

Very nice looking trucks! I'm looking forward to photographing some of these when the weather turns warmer next year.



So $750 is the going rate for placards these days? Even if you wanted placards to begin with, they couldn't be installed until after the truck was painted so adding them at the last minute shouldn't be an excuse for price gouging.



I'm really liking the single Mars light under the windshield, classy. I also agree that the department patch on the door would've looked really sharp.
