Nice!
My 68 fire truck had 35k on it when I got it. But no LSD. I envy you for that

Just how rare is the LSD in Bays? I've never really looked into it. Only a commercial option?

I have no idea how many existed. The LSD was always an option IIRC
Some have it, most don't. And from the info I gathered here on the forum they break around 80k - 100k so doesn't seem to be an ever lasting investment.
