Quote:I just noticed that and came to post... I'm pretty sure the old chassis was a "total loss" as the rig went over on its side in a ditch (gently, they say) after hitting a patch of black ice and suffered some sort of damage to the power train. I suspect the body is still on the chassis as it's easier to drag around the dead chassis than pull the old body and mount it on a dolly then mount it to a new chassis. I'll do some digging though.
They lucked out and only one member was injured. Broken wrist I believe from all the stuff that flew around the walk-in area of the box where they were riding. The other "rumor" was their insurance company essentially shafted the department on this as the policy was not "agreed value." Story was they only got $30,000 or so for their rig's value. Win-Bur-Sew just replaced an ambulance due to a unit blowing an engine, bought a tanker and a couple of utility vehicles. They did not need this expense right now.
Confirmed with some Win-Bur-Sew folks yesterday, box is going on a Furion chassis. Old box is getting roll up doors if I recall correctly, the walk in portion will remain - but there will be no seating in the box. Ladders and additional storage will be added inside the walk-in area.
Supposed to be done at the end of summer. I hope they aren't holding their breath.
