That's what I was talking about. It's been many years since I've paid any attention to what BIR uses for their track safety rig. However, they used to have a Ford truck with fire fighting gear (pumps, hose reels, etc) mounted on the back along with two metal tractor seats mounted on the tail for rescue workers to sit on. It was quite the rig let me tell you!Originally posted by bigblockpaul View Post
If I see the rescue rig parked this weekend, I'll stop and introduce myself. I've been meaning to ask you a question anyway. A friend bought a truck with "Big Block Paul" decal on it and wondered if it was your old truck?Last edited by Gipper; 05-20-2009, 07:35 PM.Comment

I'm not exactly sure of the year but it's a medium blue, 1 ton, crew cab, single rear wheel, Ford diesel pick up with a color matching fiberglass topper. (probably a 2004 or 2005)Originally posted by bigblockpaul View PostComment

I was able to get a quick shot of the BIR fire truck..... it's the same truck that I was thinking of. If you look closely you can see the black metal tractor seats. (one on each side) They are black, not red like I originally thought.
If that truck could talk the stories would be unbelievable!!! I know I've had my fare share of fun and beer drinking on the back in the early 90's!
Not the greatest picture I know...

When I took that picture I only saw one guy sitting under that canopy tent. Was that you? I thought you would be wearing a uniform of some sort? I figured you were gone on break or something?Originally posted by bigblockpaul View Post
