500 gpm with a 500 gallon tank?

You have the newer style reel covers, not sure when they were introduced.

My quick fill is on the rear, but other than small things the body is the same as yours.

The front pass through cabinet was a COE cab thing...made the body to long on a conventional cab truck.

The Deck Gun is a neat feature...takes LOTS of water to run that...must have been a city truck that had hydrants.

My truck came from a town of about 2000 people and was the only truck they had for it's first 13 years of service...it did it all! They but 11k miles on it over it's 38 years of service.

You could look for a newer rear with better gears and just swap it all, but finding one with hydraulic brakes might be hard. Just keep driving it and over time you'll come to appreciate the slower speeds.
