Water Truck Chassis

Funny grooved clamp story. Hopefully enough time has passed to protect the innocent. A colleague of mine,…..

Never mind. I’ll probably get sued by a major manufacturer if I say something and they will seize my single-wide in judgment. Let’s just say, once upon a time, there was Chinese counterfeit elastomers used by a major clamp manufacturer which caused my former employer to spend a couple hundred thousand fixing leaks and cleaning spills and my clocked O/T hours achieved a new dimension never thought possible.

Love that single stack Mack with the tank in the back! She can haul the mail.

Actually has dual stacks, I wish it had just one. Right before I stopped driving it the exhaust rotted out and a friend had the same size as straight pipes. We sent a picture and a offer of $500 and they were on the truck in a few days. I never drove it with the stacks. He said it's nice unless your slowing down with jakes with the window down. It's my favorite water truck as it's super reliable, a old truck, plenty of power(on the top end) and has done a pile of work. It even got pulled over by a new dot with a chip on his shoulder and I don't think he found anything.

I have not heard that in ages. But for me it was a single stack Mack with a shack on the back

I know I got tired of moving two/three compartment tanks from one to another. It was all
the bottom loader stuff.

You didn't post the important picture.

This is what makes this place great. Many times a spammer starts a thread and it turns into a pretty good conversation. I've learned a few things about water trucks now.

That looks very similar to a water truck the movie studios used .

Now that's a wagon. I like the custom stripe kit on the tank. I miss the real cab lights. Too much aerodynamic crap these days

It needs some stuff but for that price, could throw a little at it.
