Adding another rig. She goes in for graphics on 6/11 (proof pic below - identical to the f250). Most of the equipment is already in the garage save for high side boxes and one tank. It's almost as fun putting them together as it is working them!
Ed, I almost 'stole' this truck. 93k miles on a diesel and it was only $7500. They have another one just like it that I could get for the same price, but the "war-department" isn't on board just yet...... Compared to the $18.5k I paid for the F250, I'm very pleased with this one so far.
I'm going with the exact same setup we used on the F250; steel high side boxes with reels mounted on top curb-side, and a side-rack (or service body rack) for the ladders. We have 8GPM machines (skids) on the trucks along with 2 100 gallon tanks, 20" surface cleaners etc. Anytime you want to compare notes, see pics or stop by if you're passing through, let me know.

Ted that looks like a really nice truck. Is it priced to where you're not so concerned about sh damage? Does A-PT use pressure washers? I'm always curious of different strategies to fit everything in without cluttering.
It took a while for all of the parts to come in, especially one of the tanks (they did a production run because of something I requested), but she's about to come together. It just got it back from a local fabrication shop today, so now the fun begins.
Looks great Ted. Im getting my 2010 F250 utility bed wrapped (first wrap) So I have been looking at everyones truck wraps with interest recently. Im sure I will be posting and looking for everyones opinion soon.

Shake down runs are complete although there's still a little bit of engineering left to do to improve productivity even more. Between the two pick ups, we have 9 roofs on the schedule for today alone. We're likely to pick up a few more jobs along the way.
I just wish the heat would pass - good thing our crew is as tough as nails.
