No, Houston switched to Ferrara about a year and a half ago. The photos posted by Ron are the last order of 5 pumpers and 5 trucks which were ordered before the 1st Ferrara rigs and recieved after the 1st Ferra rigs. Make sense? LOL. Houston is still with Ferrara and as I understand it from Downtown will be placing another order with Ferrara for 6 pumpers, 2 trucks and 1 Haz Mat. There is currently 1 Haz Mat unit on order. This addition to another new/re-mount cascade unit of the '97 SVI bodies which are being placed on International chassis from the original Freightliner chassis.
The 5 trucks were different from the '97 and '01 models in that they are Cyclone II chassis and not the Hurricane chassis. The pumper were still on Cyclone II chassis, just considrably shorter in both wheel base and overall length.
Just some thoughts.
