Delivered 7/3/2015 Verplanck new U 29

all photos taken by John Nohai on 7/4/2015 in the Peekskill FD 4th of July Parade

Nice. What is it going to be used for?

It is actually white and will have blue striping, on the trailer headed to Wassaic.

Nice. Is it going to be a slicktop unit or is going to have a lightbar?

Our new Chief truck will arrive today and be sent out for radio, lights and graphics install, I've been assigned the 2005 Ford seen above, I've detailed it up and the fire district allowed the graphics to be done over, along with rear Chevrons, yes it is still not blue but I think it looks SO SO much better then it previously did. As soon as the new truck is completed I will post some photos of that as well.

Nice. Hope the new one is blue.
