Well it's final!!!!

My department has goten the OK from our board to go ahead and order our new 75' Sutphen Ladder Truck. It'll be replacing the oldest truck in our fleet and thats our ladder right now and its a 1970. With the purchase of this our oldest truck will now be a 2000. We're going to give our 1970 away to a local department. The price on this is just under $650,000.

We'll have it next summer................... and yes it'll be lime green too:)

Wow, good for you guys... 650k nice, just curious as to why only 75'?
Do they charge extra for that slime green paint job?
