I am not trying to compete, but here is my new Lube Truck. AutoCar/Volvo with a series 60 detroit and an automatic Allison. She needs a bunch of work, but it fits my style.

CD, I think you found yourself a good looking truck. Will it mostly stay on one site at a time or will you have a driver with hazmat endorsement and mobilize fuel/lube daily/as needed? I love the look of those older Autocar's. Were you in the market for a fuel truck that was an automatic or was that just what the truck you found had? Do you have any closer pictures?

I have a few days off so I will get some better fotos. The truck will mostly stay on one site. I was not in the market but no one was very interested in it at the auction so I got involved and ended up with it, along with some other knick knacks.

Definitely an upgrade. Right now we have a 5-year-old Mack with a service body on it similar to the one posted by Colorado Digger on the previous page, other than ours is not enclosed - not required in this climate.

My apologies for the lighting in the shop, flouresent and metal halide seem to hate the camera
Here is a few more. I need some lessons on editing photos here, though I could re-order them after posting but have not figured that one out. There are several more in the photo bucket album.
I'm looking for ways to brace up under the rear work bench and support my hitch. Without layering steel flat on flat, as things tend to rust badly up here.
Also I have a Eaton PV12 piston pump that ran the bucket, its 12 gpm at 1500 rpm and flow controlled, (with options to pressure control available) but the Altec supplied valves for the winch and outriggers are all open center power beyond type. My crane is open center 6gpm max and not p b. Just wondering if should be ok to plumb it in after my outriggers. (my last power beyond in series as the truck is plumbed now.
Also have a adjustable flow devider valve to reduce the gpm to 6. But since I can't get the pto ratio running the pump, I'm going to have put the devider in and up the adjust as needed.
I was going to put that in upsteam of the outrigger valves, (after the winch). Muncie says my pto ratios are likely .96% or maybe 125% engine rpm. I'm hoping at have enough flow on the other side of the devider to run a hyd compressor, Or I can increase flow with a pto ratio change as I can run the pump up to 3000 rpm and 24 gpm.
Anyone think I should configure this differently? Why?
