Ah! The 49MPH wonder as it was affectionately known...this rig was only kept in this configuration for a few years, and photos of it are very rare. The rig was eventually refurbed with new bodywork, the dry-chem tanks were moved to a pickup truck, and it was infected with lime disease. It came out looking much more like a standard pumper. Jerry might be able to give specifics for us.



Thanks for posting it, expect an extra something in your stocking this Christmas! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
