Big Bird - unit 421

July 15, 2009
Purchased through the Federal Surplus system. The truck previously used at a navy base in the country of Iceland. It played a vital role in making the Water Hauling Shuttle possible in December of 2005. Equiped with a 300 hp Cummins and Allison automatic transmission, Big Bird has found a home for a long time. We have installed a ten inch square dump valve which is electrically actuated. It has a four inch Storz quick connect direct fill line. We plan to get Livonia High School Art Department to help with the painting of the Big Bird character on the side of the tank. When Completed will post the before and after pictures on our web page.
