Quote:1 - The new chief decided to switch to red stripes, 3 of their 7 rigs have red stripes and the other 4 have blue stripes.
2 - Those "patches" are to allow access to check the engine oil, coolant and so on, without raising the hood. The department got a deal on this cab/chassis as it was originally built to be a snowplow, which makes it difficult to tilt the hood with a plow harness attached.
Thanks for the clear explanations. Very interesting.
