PUMP PROVISION
The chassis shall include provisions to mount a drive line pump in the middle of the chassis, behind the
cab, more commonly known as the midship location.
CAB STYLE
The cab shall be a custom, fully enclosed, MFD model with a 10.00 inch raised roof over the driver,
officer, and crew area, designed and built specifically for use as an emergency response vehicle by a
company specializing in cab and chassis design for all emergency response applications. The cab shall

cab area with no partition between the front and rear sections of the cab. To provide a superior finish by
reducing welds that fatigue cab metal; the roof, the rear wall and side wall panels shall be assembled
using a combination of welds and proven industrial adhesives designed specifically for aluminum
fabrication for construction.
The cab shall be constructed using multiple aluminum extrusions in conjunction with aluminum plate,
which shall provide proven strength and the truest, flattest body surfaces ensuring less expensive paint
repairs if needed. All aluminum welding shall be completed to the American Welding Society and
ANSI D1.2-96 requirements for structural welding of aluminum.
All interior and exterior seams shall be sealed for optimum noise reduction and to provide the most
favorable efficiency for heating and cooling retention.
The cab shall be constructed of 5052-H32 corrosion resistant aluminum plate. The cab shall incorporate
tongue and groove fitted 6061-T6 0.13 & 0.19 inch thick aluminum extrusions for extreme duty
situations. A single formed, one (1) piece extrusion shall be used for the “A” pillar, adding strength and
