  4. Oh yeah that’s cool I found that one years ago myself are used to have a ball riding on those rigs when I was a kid my uncle sold the business in 1970 but it was a lot of fun while it lasted I remember when I was about nine years old my dad asked me if I wanted to sweep out the trailer after they unloaded blueberries I was just about pissing myself …. Oh boy I get to work like the big guys ha ha real great memories … At the time my uncle had the best looking Riggs on the road.. bob

  6. Aaaaaaaaaah hell,, I didn’t even know that I’ve had my DM 27 years but they have been stuck open The entire time Truck had a small front end collision and bent the shutters I have a new set I will be using but I have seen the ram trying to close them and open them before while it was running So I’m pretty sure though shutters stat still works I don’t even know if you can still buy them… bob

  23. Haha got this out of a Oakland California fire engine a friend of mind parted out ….it has 111,000 I still think that truck has more miles than what it says my guess is they might of bought it from another owner maybe picked it up pretty right and generally fire equipment has a lot more of their own personality’s who knows truck is still gorgeous… bob
