Who owns old Floodlight 2 now? It used to be in Charlie Black's fire museum over in Hebron, MD, but I had heard that he sold most of his rigs.

Let me guess, I would bet that all of that extra diamond plate on E4's 1974 rig was to cover up a lot of rust spots/holes!

In most, if not all snowbelt communities, you will find at least one or more rigs suffering from premature rusting. Road salt is a very corrosive material when it comes to metal. All the undercoating and paint is not going to help. Where I work, snowplow trucks are replaced on the average of every 10 years, not because of the mileage or mechanical issues, but because of rust and body rot.

Plus add the cheap steel from the 70's those poor Seagrave's didn't stand a chance. Joke was on a quiet night you could hear a city Seagrave rusting.
