What's a class 7 pumper?
Other than that, there's a guy down here that has a 69 Mack that he rents out for kid's birthday parties and similar events.

Mobile car wash business. You got the pump, the water tank, plenty of compartments to store your soap and rags and such. The novelty would sell itself!

Well I know a local beer distributer that took an old fire engine and made it into a portable beer dispenser. Wish I had pics of it cause I would post it.

Anyone who would f*ck up a perfectly good Pirsch needs to have their *** re-arranged! Including anyone who turns over a unique ladder truck coming back from the Ocean! Originally Posted by hwoods

I know a guy that runs a couple of old engines for his powerwashing company, and he does pretty good with it. Also seen another one turned into a smoker for cookout's. Allot of work had to be done on it, buy once it was done looked and worked awesome.
