Dodge tanker, what is it

[m139h2otruck]

Our water truck tank is one of these cut down to about 16 feet (4,000 gallons). After driving it around the site the last few days, I can vouch for how heavy it is loaded!!! Mounted on the M139 chassis with single 1400x20 tires on the back it feels like your driving around on jello.

If you get the truck, I could probably use the tank.

Best part of the rig. SS baffled as I recall. Put on an M911 for a water tender/tanker.

FWIW, its designation is K-500 flightline refueler. It has a 58K GVW and a 22.8K empty weight.

It is on a Dodge CNT800 chassis and was phased out in favor of the R-9 Mack Refueler.

I was able to talk to the guy today. Said the title has been missing for 3 years now and that is why they have not done anything with it. Not sure as a title is not that hard to get. They are still not sure what they are going to do with it. If it sales it will be through an auction and maybe I can get it.

Holy Moley!! What's the wheelbase on that beast??

Beautiful Dodge cab! I can't imagine what the weight-to-axle ratio is when it's loaded. H2O is 8 lbs. per gallon.

Dodge 1000
The one i drove had a 300 Cummins or was it a 250.
It was a top of the line truck in its day.
I like the winged fenders. You pull that latch on the side, Then the whole fender swings out for easy engine access.

Cool truck, If you can get it cheap I get it, take that ugly tank off, chop the frame shorten it and put a Deuce bed on it as they are cheap
prolly for waht you could get for scrap value for the tank etc would buy the used deck. Paint the whole thing OD and call it good.
OH maybe siome better 11:00x20 tires, thats actually a cool lookin cab.
