Casey Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Wow, what an incredible project. Glad I caught this thread and checked it out. I live about two hours south of Oshkosh, and often times traveling on Interstate 45 see loaded flatbeds with all sorts of refurbished Oshkosh-based truck on the trailers. I think the last one I saw was a bight red fire truck with some African nation's fire company name on the doors. I definitely did a double take on that one. I see many U.S. military vehicles on the flatbeds, too, but the fire fighting trucks always catch my eyes. I'm looking forward to seeing how this project progresses.
