Alright, I'm only 24, so when I say this, understand that it's in part to photos like those posted here, and also in part to some of these trucks still being in service and seeing them on their way out. That being said, what happened to PRIDE, and variety?!? What happened to every truck being a true custom, and being able to look at XYZ truck and know who's it is just because of the way it looks?
It seems like 60s/70s/80s there was a true pride in the appearance of apparatus- colors, wheel options, cab configuration. I know there are obvious reasons for changes to open cabs and Dayton wheels, but it goes far beyond that.
Anyhow, off soapbox, thanks for sharing such a tremendous variety of photos!
