Will just plain black spray paint work on the mud covers? I'm not sure how long it'll stay on rubber

I'd look at using the either plastic spray paint or possibly dye for shoes.. They sell it in a spray can also..
I was looking at some chrome rim covers, and I decided to paint the wheels black to buy some time. I need to put that $250 somewhere else. I'll probably get some a year or two from now

The mud flaps look fine. Don't listen to Mike.
Better yet take them off. You'll get more calls that way.
And dude put the money into some stainless simulators. It will make the signs pop.
I love my box. And I hate it. Every tool you need, with you at all times. But you dread that scraping noise on half the driveways. And also this

So is this a diesel truck. I have been looking at box trucks for a while would love the space. Used gasoline trucks are not as easy to find. If its that simple to add a gasoline fuel tank then thats not a bad idea. As long as you don't make any mistakes filling up.

Can they be turned around?
I just have one question. How are you going to tow this new box truck behind your truck?

just put them on the front.
No, it's not diesel. Jondon wanted to RIP ME OFF on selling a fkin fuel tap for $450. I said screw you, I'll buy a whole gas tank for $300 after shipping.
$450 for fkin fuel hoses and maybe a weird angle type of valve. Milking us like a bunch a bitches. Interlink had a very similar number. Don't get me started. The bastards screwed me on 3pvc pieces of 2.5" pipe to mount to my waste tank lid so I could hook a 2.5" hose up to it for $250.00!!!!!!! I got screwed that day. I'm done with being LOYAL to my local distributer. That's why I'm being cheap on all my chems from now on. The markup must be stupid high on those also. It's put a sour taste in my mouth on all the suppliers we have
Back to the fuel tank. I bought this from a box truck salvage yard in Colorado. It comes with the mount that you have to mount the tank to the frame also. I putting it on the same side as the current tank on the truck, so I can just fill them up easily at the pump. They call it a saddle tank.
And the reason I wanted to buy a fuel tank made for a box truck is because of the element inside the tank having access to the whole bottom in case I'm on a hill with the tank low on fuel. Much better than a home made fuel tap with just a hose sitting in the middle of the tank.
That doesn't deserve a valid answer

You sure are especially pissy today
I know the feeling Matt. I've just sold my motorcycle and my corvette to get out of debt. I'll still be $4K short on paying off my 870. Hopefully I can get that powered off fast.
My saddle tank is on.
Question. I need a fuel pump that I can mount on the frame. About 12inches above the bottom of the tank. In other words, I need a pump that sucks and pushes. Which one do I need to order???
The one I currently have on my trailer is mounted under the tank and pushes only

Most of them will pull well for that distance, and push the rest of the way.
Yeah, what he said Matt. Don't over think it.
I've been overthinking it. My dad is yelling at me, calling me a dumbass, wasting my money on this saddle tank, for not putting my plastic tank inside the box with the tm, lol

I like that saddle tank. You will be able to run that thing for days with that big ass tank.
I hope so, if I get the right fuel pump. You're to blame if it doesn't work correctly

You can blame me... I'm that wing man who takes one for the team... I'm not too proud to say sorry...
