Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

The perfect alarm clock.

 

Won't even need coffee

 

Any idea how old it is?

 

No idea. It's my friend's, so he's the one trying to figure that out. Unless @Juisebocks wants to take a stab at this one

 

Productive day.

Fixed my head unit and tech deck. A backing plate below the clock and hazard button made the hazard button stick when pressed causing me to pull the whole mounting bracket for unit out to nudge it loose.

Spring cleaning on the truck. Everything more organized in storage. Got another double socket ram arm and tablet size x grip on order. Need to start doing some brakes and other maintenance on the truck now.

Designing the tire carrier with cardboard. Fun stuff.

 

Ain’t they OEM wheels? It’s not something many people want

 

Yeah, I don't expect anyone to want them. It's just a need if something came up for others.

 

They go fast on Craigslist. I’ve sold a few sets and only had them for a couple weeks.

 

Good Lord, the stuff .... The stuff is everywhere

 

My truck is my toolbox.

They are all neatly put away now though.

 

Day 7 at work. This paycheck better be worth it.

 

Idk, that suspension worth it?



Okay, who wants to play I Spy with @ResearchMonkee's truck bed?

 

We've figured out it's a Gamewell Flex 5. Still trying to determine age

 

Yo, you stumped me. The pull station is definitely not common as a Gamewell product. They are interestingly famous for the fire call boxes found around the Boston area. The saving grace is that Gamewell is still pretty prolific company and they might be able to help identify it. The glass bars are available to purchase for replacement, but I only found one pull station in the same design but without the glass bar mounts.

The Auth bell is even harder to identify, but I've found a few with the same or similar center badge, but they have the bell hammer thing on the outside, rather than the wheel on the inside.

I'd need to make phone calls to figure this one out lol

 

The rest of the country be like:

 

Ha, no worries. Not a big deal, more or less just curiosity. My goal is to clean and repaint, then mount it on a board with a battery so I can hasten my journey toward deafness.

 

My only other route of research would be to find out when 24v DC started to be used for fire systems. 24v is still used almost 100% of the time, so that could at least give a better window. It's a cool little system though, for sure.

 

The only thing worse than living in kanas is living in Nebraska
