Hi all, my fire department just ordered a Kenworth T800 tanker and i need to find out what we have for useable space on the passenger side door for our lettering. My companie's T800 dump doesn't have the bottom peep window but this tanker will, so I was wondering if anyone on here was close to a T800 with a peep window and could measure the space we have to work with, I tried to imagine it on our T800 dump and it looks like very limited space will be left between the peep window and the bottom of the real window....thanks

John

No body builds a nicer tanker than 4 guys. Our next department up from us, has a 3500 gallon freightshaker 1500gpm pump 4 guys tanker. They love it. I wish we had one.

Chip,
Not sure what it is, but it doesn't have the daylight window anyway. Here's a link to it. White Hills Tanker

You like the floats huh? All but one of my trucks have em and i can't notice the difference at all while on the road. The one without has the heavier rated tires as they all have 20k rated front ends. I just hate forking the cash out when they need replacing. At least 200 more a tire than the truck without em.

They do look better though!!!
