T4 is a 1976 F700 with a small block 361 gas V8 & 4 speed trans w/hi-lo axle. 1600 gal tank w/ a newton quick dump. Tanker 6 is almost mirrored with a couple different things... 1979 F700 with a 370 big block "Lima" engine w/ a 2000 gal tank instead of 1600. Everything else is the same.

Yall just use that as a tanker? It would be a Engine in my dept. Our tankers are just shuttles for water no pump for fighting fires.

Ok I have no idea what Baffles are....I might when you explan it but I dont know the term. Thanks if you can clear it up for me.

Baffles are basically dividers placed inside the tank. They can be made of metal of plastic. They basically just keep the water from moving back and forth so violently.
