Look at what showed up at work...Update 9-22-12

[EL1998P71]

This truck got dropped off the other day for a radio install.


I would love to get this bar off this truck....

 

[PC Comms]

I would bet that if you offered him an "upgraded" bar, he would be MORE than happy to do an even swap!

 

[7d9_z28]

WIN! I want the domes at least! Mine has reds and I want amber!

 

[unlisted]

Just switch it and say it was a free upgrade with the radio. You could probably even get away with a MX7k... LOL.


Don't even ask/tell.

 

[7d9_z28]

id give you an amber MX7000 for it :yes:

 

[Hoser]

Its a shame that ole tired lightbar on such a new truck, you say that old thing works?? Something along those lines....... If you can't figure something out....Atleast work out some future dibs!

 

[Hoff]

Is that a CAP truck or something CD?

 

[jph2]

Yes, CAP.


I was not impressed by that bar back in its day, but now, that's quite a find. It must have been on the cap (no pun intended) when it got moved from an older truck.


Don't know if amber is rarer than red, as far as lenses for the bar go, but the blue was always a unique color, IMHO.

 

[EL1998P71]

Is that a CAP truck or something CD?

Yes, Civil Air Patrol.


There is no switch for the lightbar, the cable is just laying on the floor by the center seat.

 

[EL1998P71]

Well My boss asked CAP and they agreed on a trade. a 4 strobe 9M for their 8000.


I had the drill out the center grill cover screws to remove the grill.


Found a dual 100 watt speaker setup.


took the domes off and found the flying saucer shape len's under the domes.


The bar works except the PAR 46 strobes are dead


Sorry about the pic's, more to follow ( my cell phone doesn't like night time shots)


And the last pic is the same truck with the 9M.


They are removing the bed cap since it's in bad condition.

 

[ERIC6913]

truck looks much nice IMO.

 

[7d9_z28]

Saucers! Hell yeah!


So, will you be selling this bar? I WANT IT!!!

 

[ford-dealer]

I sure could use the power supply for the 360s! My NOS Flying Saucer has a bad one! (That is the reason I am assuming it was shelved after they "Killed It" when new! LOL

 

[FGS]

Nice score! Almost makes me want to go into the upfitter business. :haha:

 

[stansdds]

That's a heck of a score, especially considering it has the dual 100W speakers.

 

[JohnMarcson]

The saucer style optics too! Total win!

 

[EL1998P71]

Thanks for the comments folks.


But this one is staying in my collection.


I do have regrets selling the blue/blue one I sold a few years ago.


it was almost the same setup but the had the cylinder optics insted of the saucer style optics and it had alley lights.


That one had both pie pan power supply's dead, so I had to put a whelen CS240 in it.

That edge looks good on that year truck.
