ATTACHMT: Attached To Letter Dated 4/21/94 From John Womack To Gary Klingaman (A42; Redbook (2); PART 567)

TEXT: Dear Sir:

We are a manufacturer of water trucks and lube/fuel service trucks. We take incomplete vehicles and add water tanks and various other apparatus, making it a complete vehicle.

By Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards we are required to identify this vehicle by a sticker indicating manufacturer, incomplete vehicle manufacturer, date of manufacturer, GVWR with indicated tires, tire pressure, and vehicle identification number.

We also may use pre-owned chassis in construction of our product. Do we need this sticker for this type of vehicle?

I would appreciate any further information on this tag that is required and if it is required on used chassis belonging to either the customer or one we have purchased to sell.

Regards,

INTER PIPE, INC.
