Sounds like a spec issue to me. Why would you not spec a stainless steel truck if you are in a climate with snow and salt. yes cost is a big deal when you order as many as FDNY but you get what you pay for and as tough as the FDNY spec is I think they missed this detail. The biggest problem I see with FDNY trucks is rust at about 8 years of service. I know my department is not as busy as fdny companies but we wash our truck every time we return to the station.
