Brings back memories of what my truck looked like before it was painted... How's the 322 running? Mike B  | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 | Fixed a small exhaust leak and it's been running perfect. I ran the buffer wheel over what's left of the paint because I got sweet talked into hauling kids in the 4th of July parade. Should have done it sooner, it looks a lot better. I have a good chunk of dough saved up for a paint job but I'm actually working on some sponsors that want to help contribute to the cause. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,399 Camp Commandant | | Camp Commandant Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,399 | The '57 looks great. It does look small compared to new apparatus. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,616 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,616 | Looking Great!

And I'm glad they have the sense to carry Hard Suction on the new truck. Hope you guys actually get to train on it, once in a while. I bet you could get to where you can draft better than the Pierce! I like the old truck better!!!  -Michael | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 | NFPA compliant pumpers still have to have the hard suction on them. If anything they have to use it for pump testing. Being a city department we rarely draft but we do train on it frequently. This new Pierce has an air actuated primer. It pulls a draft pretty quick. | | |
