I dunno, but there's not a whole lot of places for a man of his girth to hide!

Here's those pictures for you, Brian.

Rolloff:




Plow truck:




And last, but most definitely not least. The new (to us) service truck!




That's a 130 CFM compressor in the cage up front in the box. On the right is a 6,000lb capacity crane.
Crane controls. Outrigger controls in background.


An idea of what the inside of the compartments is like.

Thanks, Ray. It needs paint though. In case anybody can't tell that's an air hose reel under the crane there in the gap in the body.

And I believe it's second compartment back on the passenger side that is set up for an oxy-acetylene torch.

What do you think that truck is worth and what do you think we had to pay for it. No answers from you, Brian.

And we also got a 2 cylinder gas powered Miller welder to go on it. It's a 2002, but it only has 50 hours on it. It can do stick, MIG, and TIG. It came with leads for stick and a little MIG box. It's also got 120v outlets on it so you can run grinders off of it. We plan on mounting the welder on the truck somehow. We don't know yet if we'll put it on top of the box or in the bed. We want to run the welder controls into a compartment so we can control it from the ground and have leads in a compartment. I want to do that in a compartment next to the torches so you have torches, a welder, and grinders, etc. all on the same side of the truck.

What Mack service truck? I told you we got an Int'l service truck with DT466 power. Mack doesn't use Intersmashable engines. And no the rolloff didn't come with any cans. We do have a few cans already though.

I replace all my brake lines with stainless steel from Classic Tube in Buffalo NY many years ago when they started breaking.

Now the stainless steel factory fuel lines are starting to leak through the wall of the tubing.

Morning all! It was a decent weekend all in all, but that wet stuff was falling out of the sky again on my drive in this morning. What's with that?
