Thanks for the offer 2x4 but I'm just going to keep this one as a water hauling trailer. I have a 1200gal tank mounted to the 7ft flatbed. Mine had a 318 industrial engine that thru a rod in the pan, didn't hurt the block and I had the heads rebuilt and a new rod and was just fixing to start putting everything back together until I thought why pay the expense of maintaining another vehicle when I can just tow it as a trailer.

Before I bought the truck the owner had installed a 2spd 2-1/2ton Eaton differential so it worked well for pulling a MH from Co to Az then I converted it to a water truck and the teenagers decided it was time to drag race "the truck". That pretty well did in the engine. It only had 40lbs compression and very little vacuum but would still start and move 10klbs of water at 20mph.
