Buddy of mine and I stopped by Adkins Truck Equipment the other day and saw the biggest service truck I've ever seen. Now folks around here tell me my service truck is big (the 'little' one in the pics below....LOL), but the one we saw makes mine look like a baby because it's HUGE.
I didn't get the name of the owner, but we were told that he had nearly $250,000 invested so far. My buddy took the pic and cut off the nose of the truck because he couldn't get any further back to completely frame it, but you can get an idea of the size from the pic. The truck is a Western Star, and as you can see it also has a sleeper. Guy we were talking to at Adkins said all together it's only 3 inches short of being the max legal length for a straight truck in the state it's destined to reside in.
The crane on the corner looks like a baby, but it's actually a 10,000 lb capacity model, and there is also a 30,000 lb winch in the rear bumper. The street side side was too close to the fence to even get a pick, but it's basically a mirror image of the curb side. I know every door I opened was full of either shelves or roll out drawers, and part of the very front box was set up as a cross body box. There are even more compartments at the top front that are accessed by getting up in the bed.
Like I said in the subject line, for the first time in my life I have a slight twinge of service truck envy.....Not that I'd really want anything that big around here, mind you, because it's simply not practical, and the expenses on something that size would be astronomical, but hey, it's just MASSIVELY HUGE so why not ?????....LOL

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
