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: 1,393 Camp Commandant | | Camp Commandant Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,393 | The '57 looks great. It does look small compared to new apparatus.

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. | | |
