It did indeed Thank you. While looking through some posts I noticed that General Safety does not seem to be consistent in the format for their "Job Numbers".



For 2010 I saw at least 3 different formats: G 3021, 3009 and 138083



Is there any particular reason that you happen to know of as its a little odd <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I agree with Eric, I have had a hard time finding the General and Central numbers. Normally I find the General numbers on the pump panel as well. I hardly ever can find numbers on Central. General and Central are part of the big Rosenbaur. It suprises me that they dont have a better system like the other large manfacuters such as Pierce, Eone, Seagrave and Sutphen. I only collect chassie numbers when other bodies are used on Sutphen, Mack, FWD chassie. I don't find a need for the Chassie vin numbers but the job number from the manufacture can help track the rig in the future. Some of the small local builders frustrate me the most. Some have job numbers with no build date others have no job number or build date. I wish all manufactures would use the DOT yellow tag. Hope this helps answer your question.



My most interesting recent find was a Mack R/Grumman. I found the Grumman Job number on a stainless plate with no build date. The yellow DOT sticker was on the door but never stamped with data. Crazy so I had to ball park the date with the Mack data plate chassie build date.



Stay Safe,
