  I believe North Palos sold 803 to Phoenix, IL

  That is sharp. HEHE they can always do what I do and throw my coat in the back seat of my car. “I don’t need no stinken hangers.” 🙂

  Does Np still have this. I remember hearing it coming up 95th street. This was like 2012.

  North Palos has been around for a long time I can still see their 1954 FWD high pressure pumper They officially became a district in 1955 after a boundary dispute was settled in 1954…..

  RJ, true dat! Sutphen uses curved hand rails but offers a tab add-on just for hanging coats, helmets, radio straps, etc. Definitely wouldn’t order a rig without them.

  Classic cab. Why do you Spartan-Luverne at al use those curved grab handles on the cab? Where do you hang your coat?
