Long time listener, first time caller

Had an account here for several years but just had a good reason to become active on the forums. Recently purchased a Ford C8000 Pierce Pumper from a local county airport. The truck was in service until 2001-ish and has under 10k miles when it was purchased. It has a set of Federal AeroDynic mini bars that I am in the process or cleaning and mounting and came with a Federal Signal PA-300 that I sadly had to temporarily replace with a knockoff. Just purchased a Federal Q that I am hoping to grille mount to replace the 100W speaker horn which will be moved under the front bumper and swapped for a newer pancake 100W.

Happy to have the hive-mind here at eLB to consult as things progress.

On a side note, the family wants a name for the truck so I'm open to any suggestions for him.

Federal made the AeroDynic, not Whelen, just an FYI.

Ya definitely a brain fart on my part. I am literally sitting here by them as I type. So much for late night posting

Welcome to eLB! Looks like you already know this is a great group and the collective knowledge here is just amazing! That truck looks nice and clean!

pretty much anything with an Aerodynic on it is a win in my book.

+2 for White Lightning.

rig looks like it is in great shape!

A name? How about "White Supremacy"? Er, on second thought, perhaps not.

A BIG YES ON THE " Q "
Most of us would love to have this kind of project . . . . . . . The Wife doesn't agree !!!!!!!

Good luck on this one.

As for a name . . . . . . Snow White

We can be the 7 dwarfs, riding the tail (I forgot we can't do that anymore)

 

[Nolines]

what about Old Reliable? or Cramped Quarters? why arent we allowed to ride on the tails anymore? we can attach harnesses to ourselves and maybe a Long Cable and wheels and go Surfing off the back...... WHHHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

 

[JazzDad]

... the 7 dwarfs ...

Oh Pete, you are so politically incorrect! They are little people.

 

[MtnMan]

Vanilla Ice?

 

[Nolines]

the portable car washer? no wait the Portable Shower and dishwasher! hey I played Grumpy in the ITV ( broward schools television channel ) broadcast of snow white and the 7 Dwarfs .... but that was in elementary school.

I'm sorry, Jazz, but if I'm walking thru the woods and I find some cute girl with a bunch of 14 inch
"little people" - - - - - - - I'm running away from the dwarfs.
Just saying. . . . . .
