NPFD801

Looks nice. We have an 05 IH 4x4 interface style pumper (rear mount pump though) and overall we love it. Love the chassis very much, and I see you mentioned how the IH is just so ridiculously tall now, due to cooling requirements and needing the larger radiator. At least that's what we were told when we asked the IH rep, when we remakred that the cab just sits so high now. Wish we had 750 gallons of water, and I like how you stowed your ladders. In hindsight, these are some things we'd probably do different after having had the rig for eight years, but we carry an absurd amount of equipment in a nice compact rig with our current configuration.
If we had to replace the chassis we'd probably have to go Freightliner, as they seem to be able to keep their overall height lower. A new IH 4x4 just wouldn't fit in the bays where the rig is currently assigned. I see you're at 119" but our ten foot door isn't quite ten foot with other issues going on...
Can't wait to see the finished product. Sold a unit to a department with a front mount Hale, and you really can't beat a front mount for making room in the body!
