Tank

This is how my cargo truck became a tanker truck.

Tank from old plastic junk toy.  I often buy junk toys from Dollar Tree and Dollar General to use for conversion.

The tailgate has to be cut down before the tank can be mounted.  I also coarse sandpapered the bed and bottom of the truck for extra bite for the glue.

I used a splurt of super glue and some 5 minute epoxy on the truck bed to hold this tank down.

Then I held it on with rubber bands.  The quality of rubber bands in today's market is terrible.  I must have gone through six before I found one that did not break.

Even this one was iffy.
 

Water Truck

 

US Army truck conversion.

About 20 years ago I got a bunch of little trucks from Dollar Tree.

One of the truck types was a tanker truck.

So I removed the tank and put it on the back of one of my regular army trucks.

It could be water or perhaps fuel.

Water trucks are important since troops need fresh water and it's not always readily available.

These trucks will be for both WWI and for my 1938 US Army.

It's a sturdy little model.

One of several modified trucks that I have made.
