Well I believe the rig was well taken care of for one, and by 1981 I think a lot of the bad steel was out of the fire apparatus industry. She is solid all around.

My old company had a 1980 Hahn. The body was solid for the most part. The weak areas were the jump seat floor areas, and the rear compartment. Under the jumpseat floor was a channel to support the floor, but unfortunately it allowed dirt, road salt, and moisture to collect, and rot the floor from underneath. The rear was just a bad seal on the compartments. Other than that, Hahns were built great. with ours the harder we pushed her, the better she performed. Good Luck with this one, I for one am jealous.
