[Task Force 7 65]

Sorry, I hit the post button before finishing my post. Grapevine has been replacing their E-Ones with Pierce. These are photos that I have taken of their new rigs. They have a new Pierce Dash aerial tower arriving soon to replace their old E-One Bronto.

Nice pics, Pete. Am I seeing right, do those two Velocities have Quantum-style fold down steps?

Seth, Yes the Quint and E-561 have fold down steps. E-563 is the newest of the three, but I couldn't tell you why it doesn't have them.

Nice rigs grapevine has. I used to live in Grand Prairie. I would probably guess the new engine went without the fold out steps for cost reasons since they added a light tower over the cab. Just a guess though.
