I agree! While the fire truck might never fight a fire but it will working hard on the road.
Now I need some advise. How do you all recommend I put the hosebed wood together? i've stained and finished it but haven't hooked it together yet. I placed it (as it fits on the truck)on my garage floor, but I don't want to hook it(screws/nails or glue) together where somebody can see the screw heads or attachment points. Any recommendations or comments?
