Owner Rick Hall has had this 1973 Kenworth with extended hood for 30 years. He recently completed a full restoration of the truck and added a matching pup trailer to carry additional waste on a long work route. Hall added a 1987 Kenworth frame and a new LMT Inc. 4,000-gallon steel vacuum tank. He extended the cab 5 inches so he could move the driver's seat back farther, added daylight doors from a 1996 Kenworth, an N14 Cummins 550 hp engine from a 2005 Peterbilt and a 13-speed Eaton Fuller transmission from a 2005 Peterbilt. Hall rebuilt a 1980 Thompson 454 piston pump to provide vacuum. The tank has three topside manways, a Thompson float level indicator and rear-mounted work lights, including one that rotates 360 degrees via remote control. The truck also has an aluminum tool box, stainless steel visor and aluminum wheels. The all-white paint job marked the seventh time Hall has painted the truck. The pup trailer was from a former dump truck with the dump body removed, and Hall added and repainted a 1,500-gallon tank from one of his portable sanitation service trucks. Graphics are by Quality Signs of Casa Grande. The truck and trailer grosses 78,000 pounds when fully loaded. Hall's son Ricky Jr. drives the rig, which is used mostly for septic service and bulk sewage hauling.
