Okay, the post has been corrected. Will the Ford pickup chassis be sold?

If you’re referring to the FORD that is the pickup truck chasis, that is a reserve apparatus/fire investigation vehicle in Palatine. The current Squad 85 is a 2-man, medium-duty, comm’l Intl chassis squad built by Saulsbury since 2003.
