The wife's DD, a 1995 9C1 Caprice has right at 200K miles on it. While not a big deal these days, it's age is starting to show, and she needs a dependable car when she's on call. So, what better to replace a police car with than a police truck:

We got it out of Florida. It's an ex-Sarasota County Sheriff's vehicle. It was apparently a supervisor's truck, as the holes for all the gear is minimal. There's two antenna holes in the roof, and a 3/4" hole in the shell of each side mirror I'll have to deal with. We also need to locate a console, since it probably had a Havas console full of radio gear. The outside and underside look barely used for a 90K mile truck, and it looks like the back seats have never been sat in. It has a little wear and tear on the driver's seat, but not much else.

It runs great, and handles better than the 9C1 it replaces. This now brings the cop car portion of our 'fleet' up to 3, including it, our 9C1 and our 92 B4C Camaro. The 9C1 will probably be relegated to 'spare' status for her should we need to have the truck down for extended service. Hopefully that's a rare occurrence for a while.

On the plus side is it even has a receiver hitch, so it could be used to tow the Firebird around a bit should our 2500HD be unavailable. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

Oh, and the spot light works!

Sweet!! The switch for the ticket light is on the ticket light. No problem. Nice that they didn't drill a bunch of holes in it. Ours has two antenna holes, and three holes where the laptop mount went through the floorboard. I've covered one of the roof holes with a Laird antenna. Will do the other after Christmas.

Check to see what they used for the antenna plug. Rubber, and you'll want to replace it soon. They don't take the weather that well. ABS, and you should ba okay.

PICS, or it didn't happen. :-)
