Thanks Jim! If it's a milk hauler, I need to get rid of those Flammable decals first. Don't know what this guy's hauling, I slapped them on by lack of anything better. But I'm always open to improvement.... ;D

Ha, you've got that right! Might be a chemical hauler. But still, a milk trailer one day.... Hmmm, you've got me thinking here.

Joris, Sometimes construction companies will buy an old tanker just to put on sites that are hard to get to.Or as a way to have enough fuel on hand each day. So a converted milk tanker would work well cause they are made of stainless steel inside!

On Logging sites they use them for extra water trailer for use against fires and other uses. They come in handy at times and are good to have around.

Thanks for sharing that info Gator and William! Maybe this old tanker is used that way as well.

On one of my 1:1 truck sites I just saw the rear of a milk tanker that said...................... "from titties to cities" You can make a decal for that. Mike

In looking again, a short tandem axle refer trailer would work great on this tractor as well. A local ice cream maker here has several 34' tandem axle refer trailers, hooked up to super short tandem axle tractors, they are the best for use in the tight streets & alleys in the city districts.
Funny note, they now shop fabricate there own 34' cold trailers, the result of one 40' a few years ago that hit a bridge & they decided to cut off the damaged front 6'. A time of necessity resulted in a new tool...

Thanks for that info Richard! Funny indeed how a 'home-made' fix can work out well...!

It's not a bad looking truck indeed, this type of WS.
