It also should be noted and perhaps someone on here posted it but the grill on the DASH CF is ornamental only. It can be ordered without the grill thereby really makibng it look like a classic prior to the time when the radiator was up front.

Thanks Josh. Yeah that PUC seems to be growing in popularity but a shiney pump panel would look nice on it.

no you cannot get a regular pumper with the dash cf cab. it has to be a puc due to some reason with the engine being back in the cab it goes into the body or something similar to that. I herd it from the pierce rep last time we talked to him.

I believe so. It’s just the PUC has come so far, everybody is choosing it.

Nice rig, But that silver leaves a lot to be desired, Black or white is a better contrasting color, Just sayin !!!

I wonder if you can get a conventional pumper(as opposed to PUC) on the DASH CF?

Cicero’s new pierce dash will be identical to this one short wheelbase PUC pumper
