It had a little two or three cylinder a Diesel engine mounted on the frame side behind the cab to run the tank; no PTO. You started it in the cab with a push button mounted on the spray valve control pod.
We have quite a few water trucks set up that way over here, a lot of the guys over here like to set them up with the little 3 cyl. Deutz air cooled diesels.

Thanks!
And now another installment of the CPC fleet.
Here’s one of the trucks assigned to the precast fleet. The 367 is just like the others so no explanation is needed. The trailer came off of the mid 2000’s Bobcat semi set.
The Ameron 78” x 120” concrete precast pipe load is just made from Cantex PVC electrical couplings painted a flat concrete grey with “pre NOV” Ameron decals added.
Next here’s one of the few colored trucks in the fleet. This one belongs to a sister company of CPC, Pacific Machinery. Pacific Machinery is a equipment dealer chain with 5 locations distributing Caterpillar and other allied brands.
The 367 is pretty much the same as the other CPC fleet 367’s having the same modifications done to it and having Pacific Machinery branding added. Here it is hauling a rebuilt Caterpillar 966D.
And lastly one for the cookie guys, our only crane (for now). A Terex-Demag AC200-1 by NZG. This crane even though is part of the CPC fleet it’s branded for Pacific Crane Service a branch of CPC dedicated for heavy haulage, rigging, and crane hire services. Since we can’t keep those kinds of equipment busy all the time on our own jobs we offer these services to other construction companies.
The crane started out off as the standard Terex AC200-1 (NZG 730). I removed the large “Terex” logo on the boom, painted the wheels and added the PCS, CPC, and other decals and striping.
Yes I know those aren't crane spreader plates.
