100' Ferrara Rear Mount Aerials

Saw a press release from Ferrara on Fire Engineering's web page that they had received an order for 13 100ft. ladder trucks, same specs as current build.  Is this an add on or part of the original plan?
 
Looks like Ladder 24 made the truck officially their own. The steerhorns have been mounted and look amazing!
 
Might be considered a double post, but attached is a shot of 24 with the steerhorns. I think the horns make me like it a lot more, but still not as nice as the old 99 Seagrave. It looks like some creativity was used in making a mount that would work.

I see they took the spotlight that used to be centered over the windshield off to make room for the horns!  I wonder what the powers to be will say about that, they normally don't mind additions but don't like supplied items removed.
 
Light is still there on 24, horns are mounted over it. If you look are some of the photos from the side you can still see the light.

Doesn't do much good that way except to light up the horns!  ::)

L49 Has been at The Rock for about 3 weeks.  Those three Co's have been using it for training in preparation for delivery of their own.
 
I'm just curious because I don't see it on the list , Is 10 Truck getting A Ferrara ? It's a 2001 and some of the other rigs are 2001 , Like 38 Truck , Why are they not listed ?
