Water Tanker
It started out as a Freightliner FL70 that
had a 24' Van Body. The van body was removed
and the wheels were moved 8' ahead. A 2,400
gal fiberglass tank and diamond plate tool
boxes were ordered. A hose rack, hose
trough, drop tank rack, and other
miscellaneous items were fabricated and
mounted on the truck. A manifold was also
built so the truck can pump water out of a
slough or other water source. The pump was
mounted inside one of the tool boxes. Lights
were installed in the boxes, on the back of
the tank and on the sides up near the front.
Control switches for the lights and sirens
were mounted in the cab between the seats.
