Funny story I forgot to post was the Cab Doors on Lenexa's three Pierce's used to have Dept. not Department in gold leaf. The new Chief came in 1981 was pretty uptight. So in 1987 he had both pumpers the 1978 Ford C-8000 and the 1977 Wedge wet sanded and relettered in gold paint "Department" even the front ends were changed from LFD to Lenexa Fire Department. On the Ford C-8000 the name had to be moved from the front door to the jump seat wall since Department was to big for the door. Oh the 1978 Pierce Chevy mini pumper stayed the same no door changes. Really funny just intresting info.
