Looking for pictures of Flatbed Trucks, Pickup Trucks and Box Truck rigs

Here is my set-up 1996 International 7.3L Turbo diesel 28feet long, holds 1,000 gallons of water. Under 22,000lbs gvwr 4 wheel disk hydraulic brakes. Paid $4,000.00 needed nothing to safety just a coat of paint. Room up front to get rain suit on if needed. Back is heated by 220 volt 4500 watt while parked at shop and heated by engine coolant while driving. Which is needed here during the winter. Have other pics if anyone wants to see.

That is interesting, post more pictures of the bus/rig.
 
I guess if you wanted to you could put another hot water rig or two in there along with hose reels, that would be great for washing apartments or large buildings, just have to find a good parking spot.

That is very creative.

If you wanna see anything specific let me know
 
I could not see the pictures that good, I thought it was white, not silver.

I have seen all kinds of rigs, now I have seen a bus changed over, that is definately different.

What gave you the idea of using a bus?
 
You sure that bus is under 22,000 lbs? I just know my little isuzu npr with 5.2 diesel and a 14 foot aluminum box weighed over 10,000 lbs with just a pressure washer and an empty water tank. I don't know what a seatless bus weigh's, that's probably why I am curious if this is estimated or scale weighed.

If you put the water tank the very back I bet you could do some cool wheelies!

You can also take dirty kids to school and clean them before the other kids make fun of them.

You could come here to Vegas and pick up an entire crew in front of Lowe's and shuttle them to the jobsite.

You can make traffic stop just for the fun of it.

You can put a bunch of kids in the back, run fast over speed bumps and take video of them flying all over the place and put it on youtube for a lot of money.

A bus....what an endless source of income and ideas! :)

Sorry it's just under 24,000lbs (shhhhhh! most of the time)and I have had it on the scales but I can't recall the exact weight. All the windows except the few you can see were removed. This isn't a full length bus it's only 28 feet bumper to bumper.
Here's a pic of the heater just a standard Canadian school bus heater turned sideways. There are 2 fans on the under side of it.

I know it's dirty in there but I'm in limestone quarries twice a week and it's impossible to keep the inside and outside clean especially after a rain
 
All the school buses up here come with rear heaters in them. So once you find a heater just tee into one of your trucks 1" heater hoses on the return side and run it to the back of your truck where you want your heater, and run another from the heater back to the water pump. But you're best to check with your mechanic.

Put a gate valve in each of the lines so you can shut it off during the warm months.

The electric heater I use when my truck is parked over night during the winter is just a milk house heater from the hardware store. I have a female receptacle on the outside of the truck and on the inside of the truck as well. I use a 25 ft/240 volt cord from a camper/trailer that plugs into the outside of the truck and just plug the heater on the inside receptacle.

The buses come with some insulation in the roof but I added some where the windows were and below the windows, to keep the hydro bill down. Hope this helps.
 
Those are some great ideas for keeping the truck warm.
