 The black over red was a big surprise. They originally were going to be the Traditional WFD solid RED with the large triple stripe and this order having painted roll ups. They switched the color at the pre build conference after viewing a number of machines on the floor. They decided to go with a basic stripe and the black over red. With the change to a more basic stripe the savings covered the cost of the paint change. There are mixed feels as WFD tradition is solid red, however I believe feelings are changing as they look very nice.

 

I was actually very disappointed to see that they switched colors as theirs was unique, add to the fold that it's now Black and Red, which everyone and their brother is doing anymore, and they just don't have that POP that WFD trucks had. As I've said several times over, Black and Red is now the new White and Red, and I have no idea why it just all of a sudden became so popular, it's been around for ages.

 

What would the point in the grab rail on the front corners of the cab be, do you know? Also, you said that the guys weren't big on the fake grilles, so what led to them being put on anyhow?

 

Thanks for all of the info Rick,

Trav!
