It very well could have been originally, and Mono city could have got it from the state.

For the bedliner, you can try Citristripper (iirc) to get it off. Coincidentally, citristripper was my stage name in college!
LOL,
Thanks Fetch! Indeed it runs great, sits and lopes 500-600 rpm at idle.
I’ll try that stripper, the paint stripper that is!

Whoever ordered this truck did a good job. It’s got the bigger engine, the biggest rear axle and the full gauge package. The fire department probably added dual batteries. I think there were two transfer case choices, not sure which It has yet, but it’s big, well everything is pretty big on this thing.

Looking for the "grill surround” for the big trucks, it’s a little bigger than the pickup’s. They cut mine out for the siren. Anyone have an idea where one might be? Or a chrome front bumper, or any parts for the "big trucks"? Thanks Mike
