Tanker Trailer Upcycling

Aloha, Everyone loves getting new things, even better though, especially for the environment, is to transform something you already have into something new. This 1999 Ford F250 truck was on its way to the wrecking yard. The SK team had a crazy idea . The engine was too far gone to repair, but what if the front end of the truck was removed, a pintle hitch welded in front and a Diesel tank installed on top. Armed with an acetylene torch, the SK team cut the bolts securing the cab to the frame then blocked the truck and cut the frame. The engine and front cab was taken to the metal recycle. Next the frame was cut again and welded to a pintle hitch. Power washing, grinding off rust, more power washing, then paint was applied. The monastery has a 1968 military water tanker (600 gallon) that required replacement seals. Parts were ordered and installed and the tanker was painted and attached to the frame. Now we have a new tanker trailer! This concluded the story of an old dead truck, a tank and the power of reincarnation. Aum!
