Look at (URL) compare it to the copy of 8454 you saved when you viewed the pictures on the Marz site. Two things stayed the same: 8 wheels, and it's still a fire truck. Gone is the strange green color, the cabin is different, panelling, steering... (...) (22 years ago, 16-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

I just had to do it some time, and I felt the time was now :) I've just slightly modified the Silver Truck by first exchange almost all grey parts with black parts. And then add an extra set of wheels. Look at this picture: (URL) a bit long URL... (...) (22 years ago, 16-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)
