56Work Performed to Convert the 1967 Kaiser M35A2 to a Water Truck
These are a few pictures of the work that I performed to convert the 1967 Kaiser M35A2 to a water truck for use on a friend's farm. The truck will be used to draft water from a river flowing through the property and will then cart it to the orchards where it will be used to charge sprayers or it will draft water from the river and will then be driven around the property spraying water on the ground for dust control during events such as harvest festivals and bluegrass concerts.
If you have questions about any of these photos, send me an email and I'll try to provide an answer.
