Farrell engine is the X-Niles rig. I photographed this fall as well.

Thanks, Shoop! I figured that it probably was the same rig. Except for the wheel covers and master stream, it's pretty much unchanged. Also, Pierce didn't build all that many fire rigs with the coupe cab. It was primarily used on the Fleet Arrow line of utility trucks. Back in the day, the factory had two flatbed trucks on that chassis, painted metallic blue. They had matching trailers and were used to ferry parts from plant to plant. Wish I had photographed one of them! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
