Hey Guys,
I have been riding out with S&W for the past two weeks. The two trucks that they just recieved were indeed stock units already built. They were to replace two from the fleet that had been taken out of service, one was wrecked by contact with a guardrail at 75, and the other blew the engine. The new trucks are NICE. I can say i love the LED dome lights inside, you can leave them on for hours and they are still cool to the touch, which helps the A/C out a bunch. The trucks were made at the factory with only Left side cot mounts, and they are trying to get it worked out to get the cots moved to the middle mounts when they can get the trucks to the shop.
Also, S&W EMS is not run by Community, they are owned in partnership by S&W Hospital and PHI, who is the lead shareholder now.
Hope this helps, and I will try to get some pics when I am down there again.
