All hose bed, with the puc design the radiator sits uptop shortening the hose bed, so we had to go higher on the sides to fit all the hose.

That is correct. The old Engine 17 1997 Pierce Saber will go into reserve as Engine 16R at station 16

So Jeff, does it look like the old Engine 17 will become the new reserve engine for Skokie? The new rig really looks good and it seems to have a long body, like Rescue/Truck 17. The new Engine 17 almost looks like it could be a Rescue/Truck or even a squad. I know that there is a hose bed inside however.
