Tim did you ever finish your truck i would like to see it. i just got mine semi done and need to figure some way to hold my surface cleaners i don't have any more space on the bed.

I'm a lot closer, I will post pics when I get some time. The ladder rack is up, reels are mounted and full of hose. I am waiting on 1 more 200 gal tank (3) and another hose reel (5), and a bunch more nick knacks. I am in the same boat with the surface cleaners. My main one is pretty heavy and I would like to make it as easy as possible to load and unload.

Sweet Tim!!   Did you already have a tig welder....or was this just a convenient excuse to get one???


If you know, I'd be interested to hear what kinda setup you are gonna have going on, i.e. tanks, machines, etc.

....And what kind of weight can you pull/STOP with that NPR/4cyl??  Very cool.....and SOFTWASHING is still the best pw biz name I've heard of!

The bed will have 3-200gal tanks, 5 reels, 8.5 cold pw, application pumps, an additional washdown pump (10.6 @ 580), generator, 4 ladders, 2 surface cleaners.....  I'm not sure what it's actual capabilities are, I have rode around with 400 gal of water to test it and it wasn't to worried about that weight. I will only ride with maybe 250gal of chem/water on average. The truck is geared pretty low so it pulls very well, stops real nice also. I just hit 28k on it I think.

It's a 4 banger, turbo 4.75l - straight 4 - 175hp. With the low gearing and not so aerodynamic figure it drinks fuel pretty good, 11 or 12 in town.

Thats a nice truck. I was just looking into buying one of those to set up another rig. Instead I settled on this one but there could be problems closing the deal because its stuck in the middle of a nasty split between this lady and her ex...Long story.

If and when I get it its going to be a long process to get it up and running do to limited time. I am looking forward to setting it up.

Tim,
That's starting to look really good. But you need to finish man, The anticipation is killing us.

Tim looks Great!! Can't wait to see the finished product.

As for my truck the short of the story was this lady was the lien holder for her Fiance who she lent the money to. She guessed right that he might be a problem with paying her as promised. The end of the story was she dumped him and she repo'd the truck right under his nose and now the truck is locked up at her computer jobs fence in parking lot.

My state will accept her title as the bank and the deal is closed. Picking up the truck April 22nd. $13,500 was the purchased price...Now I need to make some money to pay this thing off and then I need to find time to set it up...
