They seem like pretty standard, good work trucks. Your info says you live in MD in the center of "bells and whistles" territory. The trucks in your area are definitely well equipped with appearance-oriented warning lights and options that make for beautiful parade pieces.I think you will find that once you leave the mid-atlantic states and Long Island the amounts of these types of options decrease dramatically. I think this is a cultural, in addition to financial, thing. I am dreaming of the day I can build a truck with a B&M siren, Powercall electronic siren, twin Mars lights and a roto-ray, but the likelihood that will happen with the differences in culture is slim as in my area these are considered frivolous and "whacker" items.

Yep, agree with your comments... These days, and for a while, money dictates, especially in CA. But they also say that the bells and whistles don't put the fire out, so if we can use the money someplace else to benefit us, why waste it on "decorations."
