After 21 months of building and converting; it was nice to get out into the countryside for the first time before Summer ends. Here is a little video of how things are at the moment.

Very nice! I especially like the optical illusion created by the mirrors, very clever!

Thumbs up Very cool!

Awesome job! I actually rode that truck if indeed it came from Syracuse FD!
I'm retired from Syracuse Fire after 29 years. Cool to see the Rescue truck converted to a MH. Of course was a different color when in service in SFD. Nice job thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the kind words. Great to get a vote of confidence from someone who knew the truck in it's former life. I know some firefighters don't like to see their old apparatus messed up. It was Number 5 at the Lakeside Fire District from 1989 to 2004, just outside Syracuse.
