scummy Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) How cool is this , you did'nt happen to ask what they were asking for it did ya ? Just wondering what an old truck like that goes for in the states . Edited May 18, 2011 by scummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 That's a neet looking old truck. With a little TLC, it'll be just fine. What's that tank behind the cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronrdrcr Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) I believe they were asking $5500 for the truck. The tank behind was used for hydraulic oil for a dump trailer. Here is a shot of a typical Florida rock truck if you're curious as to the setup. Ron Edited May 23, 2011 by ronrdrcr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scummy Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Gee $5,500 seams a bit steep for a truck of that age . Heres two photo's of the truck and dog tipper that i drive , the left hand fuel tank is half deisel and half hydraulic oil , its a mack vision which gets its name from the slopping bonnett and drop down doors .

ronrdrcr Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 nice looking dog you have there. I like the idea of 1 tank that holds half fuel and half hyd oil. I took some pics of a new Western Star at the plant 2 days ago that had one installed. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scummy Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The only problem with the half tanks is that i've only got two 50 ton hoists and theres too much oil . I'd rather have three quarters for fuel and then i'd still have enough oil on board .The star is different , we dont have that model here in oz .
