My First Truck Build

Trailer Builds
1

Like the title says this is my first truck build as I’m fairly new to operating in this business.
This is my 2008 Silverado 150k miles with a Knapheide camper I guess its called.
I wanted to try and not spend too much on the truck but still not cheap out. I manage to score this truck in an online auction. When I got the truck I started to do the build little by little.

Excuse the mess.

I started with my PW so I could start doing driveways ect. It’s a 4gpm 4200psi simpson. I of course wanted the honda but this is what I could afford at the time.
The next thing that went into the truck were the hoses and hose reels. I opted for the titan reels and kuritech hose for SW. I made the stand there from wood I had laying around the house from previous projects. From the back, I have my SW hose then my rinse hose and at the front my pressure hose. 200ft of each hose. Shortly after I got it hoses and hose reels installed I got 2 55gal and one 30gal tanks for water, chem, and soap for the SW system. I can definitely tell that I need to upgrade to bigger tanks but this is what I have to work with and it’s working fine so far! I have my main water hose with the filter attached to run water to where ever I need it (water tank, soap tank, PW, or my rinse hose). Feel free to leave me suggestions or upgrades for the near future! Thank you!

(I have more pics but can only post 1)

Is there enough room to pull the starting cord on the engine? (Or is it key start?)

It is a pull to start but yes I have the room to crank it. The only down fall is its a little tight turning the switch on the back to cut it off. I have it faced this way just so the exhaust isn’t hitting my soap tank there.

It lets you post more pics one at a time right? Of @Infinity can boost your permissions for it I think.

I see the pool shock bottles. Not able to find and SH dealer near you? What state do you wash in? Texas for me.

Yes sir I do, but they sell pretty big portions. (2.5gal I believe) As of right now these 1gal bottles are easier for me to poor in my tank, as I haven’t invested in a little dewalt pump or something of that nature.
