Highlights from the extensive project include a frame built from the front half of the C600 and the rear from the Ladder Chief, the engine and transmission from the LNT, most of the cab interior and exhaust from the C600, and the pumper front and the ladder truck rear mated and modified to fit the chassis and make the combined rear section.
