Just bought my first fleet washing truck today! Going to be building this up to clean my trailers, trucks and commercial jobs. Debating on upgrading to a 550 gal tank on this vs my 325, thoughts? I have the space on it that’s for sure! (P.S. Dont think for a second thats my pressure)

Congrats, that’s a beast of a truck! I love those old 15k GVWR F450/FSuperduty’s. I personally would have gone a little older with a IDI. I sure wish they had ran 19.5 wheels instead of the 16’s because it’s one of the things that keep steering me to the 91’-02’ C3500HD’s for a small yard truck.

Nice Truck ! I’m jealous
Yeah it really is, drove it around a bit today and that sucker has some torque power. Gunna need to chip it most likely but I got a hell of a deal on it.

I have had my eye out for one similar to that, I am hoping to make the switch at some point this year. I would love to se some pictures once you get it the way you want.
Wasn’t wearing my glasses lol
550 would be my minimum on a small truck for fleet. The bed looks a bit light for it but the truck would be good for it. The headache rack looks very wimpy so be careful driving it maxed out. I use extremely heavy structural C channel on all my racks. Have a peep

what is the third tank you have on there for? The second biggest one
Looks good…just follow advice of those that have been there and done that.

It’s a 250 that was used for recovery pump out up until I pulled the recovery system off all the trucks. I had under belly racks on the other side with Vtwin blowers. I equalize that 550 now through 2’’ hose to get weight off my drive and onto my steer axle but sometimes it will tote around the full 800 if needed. The F550’s will scale out at 19,200 full on every tank I have
I’ve been drooling over this rig for awhile now…

Well that non crew cab looks way better and the plow also helps it’s looks. Reminds me of a strong Ant
I’ve heard they are a beast for plowing. You can put a 12 ft v blade on them.
@dperez nice to see someone else on here running real trucks
Ha, I’ll be sure to let you know when I get a few air ride Kenworth 270’s
Yap, I’ve been checking out internationals…hopefully by July
