The reason I asked is that I didn't see CC38 in your photo, and in your photo there appears to be some kind of air-conditioning "doghouse" added to the front wall of the rear box, over the cab.

In the more recent photo by Sean, it shows no air-conditioning box, leading me to believe it was a different truck, albeit very similar and from the same purchase era.

Would they have removed that doghouse? If not, it seems to be a different truck.

Or am I "just seein' things"?

Hmm. Possible. Perhaps they got a new one? Same unit though.

That means "same job, same outfit, same inventory, different physical vehicle"?

Trey,

That shot looks about as professional as you can get!

Kudos, photog (or should that read pho-dog?)!

Nice techniques.

Especially like the water leak on the blow-off, and the hoses laying on the ground waiting to be put back on the truck.

We saw an ambulance not long after this rig today about 10:30am. Wonder if a cyclist met a vehicle.

Yes, we were out on a hike up Yerba Buena. Stopped in before it got too crowded.

Tour of Ventura Co Sheriff aviation unit

From 5-7pm today, fascinating tour. Kept pestering the guys/gals who work there with questions. I wonder if Ian can pick out the real Huey's from the Bells?
