Title: Brand new 2004 American LaFrance
Post by: Meatwad on January 07, 2005, 11:30:43 AM
Finally got here 1/5/05 (over 2 months late). Should have more pictures soon. Have to say the clearance between the top of the lightbar and the bottom of the overhead door was about 4 inches! Talk about close call

Specs are the truck rides 9ft. 9 inches off the ground, has a 1000 gal tank and a 1250/min pump. Engine is a Cat diesel engine (NICE!) Just need to put equipment and mount the "Q" siren on it and it'll be ready to go out next call.

Took me less than 1 min  to have the answer to this question.

But it's not what you really were searching

nope we Americans never pass up an oppertunity to make fun of france.  I think that's a new constitutional amendement but I'll have to look into that.  ;)

That's not quite true, it's just the right-wing nutjobs (along w/ the anti-gay marriage constitutional ammendment).

Meatwad,
Does that have a 1,000 gallon UPF Poly-Tank II in it?

I've noticed LaFrance quit manufacturing their own trucks and just upgrades stock fleet trucks now. They have turned into Monster Garage.

It's not that it's not pleasurable, the post was more of an observation than anything else.

AND I'M NOT A LIBERAL!
