Ok so the saga begins, Chris was given permission to order himself a new work truck when the budget was approved in July. They ran down to the local "Tarheel Chevy" Dealership and ordered a 09 Chevy Silverado, extended cab. Great, its on its way!
NOPE! It was on back order for 3-4 months, by the way has now been upgraded to a 2101 since it took so long... When it finally came in, it sat at the dealership for 3 weeks waiting for the billing to get straightened out, and for the wench, push bar and bed liner to get sprayed in it. The wench is on back order, so last Wednesday that took it down to Durham to have the lights and sirens put on it and the guy who does the lettering came down there and did his thing too. They reported back to the fire chief that the truck was haunted... they put everything on the truck, put it all back together and one of the strobes in the tail lights blew out, fixed it, only to turn them on again and the light bar wouldn't work except one LED that was working on its own. Took it back apart, found that the brand new strobe motor was bad, had to replace it. We then took it back to Tarheel to have the wench that finally came in on it and have the rims replace with chrome, they said the wench that was sent was for a 4 wheeler and would not fit and the first three tires went on great, the forth one was bent. The truck is still setting at RFD Station 1 unfinished. But looks great just the same! Maybe you will have your truck for the new Year Chris....
