BID TABULATION
FOR
REPLACEMENT TRUCK #4
Ford
Chevrolet
$24,940.00
$24,991.00
Both vehicles meet the specifications, but Ford has a problem
providing extra cooling capacity due to the drive shaft to the
front P.T.O. winch. Cooling is important with these big V8's when
they sit and idle as this vehicle will be required to do.
If we don't have to go with absolute low dollar, I would recommend
the Chevrolet chassis which meets all specifications.
