The directional lights in the bumper and the twin spots indicate its early life as a fire unit. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Some fire truck builders would buy a commercial chassis from Mack and build it up so the VIN may start as R-487P (single axle straight chassis) for example. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
