Parts of the roof where sealed with Seam sealer others with lead. after awhile the seam sealer would dry and crack. this one is brazed 100% the center supports under the cab were weak and over time the center floor would dip down 1-1.5" we made the supports bigger and stronger while reducing weight. those are just two.

every bolt has been removed and replaced. every part gone through and either replaced or repaired. everything is getting paint. thanks everyone for the spot light but it really needs to go to the old dog. put the word out there we just want to show it off once complete. maybe let her pull a few loads locally to show our customers. we even fixed some engineering mistakes and made it better.

rebuilt -
it was the first truck that started Oakley Tank Lines back in 1981. Tom Oakley drove it himself. sold the services to customers, dispatched the loads, delivered the loads and even washed his own tankers. now 33 years later we have 40 company power units and 45 OO trucks and over 80 trailers. a full service garage and Tank wash. also offer HM183 Inspections and VIK. the truck was on the road up to about 99 then it was used as a yard jockie for a few years then parked for about 10 years until we decided to bring it back to life.
