These things were awesome! Best fun to ride on and great quick attack trucks! Not very safe in a roll over crew seats had no roll over protection. A roll over would have been nasty!!!!!

Had some of the best fire fights I can remember on the back of one of these. 8-)

Firefrog they were a reeeaaal quick vehicle, stinkin big 351 engine and I also had some of the best firefights from the back of these things, also they were oretty good for waterfights. :evil:
As far as rollover protection , if i was on the back always made sure the chin strap was tight on my topguard helmet, so I was okay :-D
