Trucks + Get AlertsIn 2010, owner Doug Stremme bought and had this 2003 International 4400 septic service truck refurbished by Allan’s Welding & Machine Inc., Olney, Ill. The truck frame was shortened and a 2,300-gallon Lely Mfg. steel vacuum tank was transferred from another service vehicle in Stremme’s fleet. New manways and valves – two 3-inch inlet valves and a 4-inch dump valve with a stainless steel sump were added. So was rear decking, restroom carriers, hose trays, a 250-gallon aluminum freshwater tank and two aluminum tool boxes – one for paper goods and one for tools. New work lighting and DC stainless wash-down pump were added. Woods Auto Body painted the truck and Dave Ulrich applied the graphics. The truck is powered by a DT 466 230-hp engine mated to a 6-speed transmission. The interior has air-ride bench seat, air conditioning, stereo, tilt, cruise and a custom floor console. Vacuum is provided by a Masport HXL 75 230-cfm pump. The truck is used for septic and portable restroom service.
