Pumps + Get AlertsOwner Tim Novak added “Big Blue,’’ a 2002 Sterling truck built out by Cooper’s Sandblasting, Minerva, Ohio, with a 3,600-gallon steel Pik Rite tank and Masport HXL75V pump. The truck runs a remanufactured 350 hp Caterpillar engine tied to an Eaton Fuller eight-speed transmission. Novak removed a tag axle and sleeper from the chassis and had the frame cut and the axles moved back. The truck features top and rear manways, 3-inch inlet and 4-inch outlet, four sight glasses, a polished aluminum stack and white-painted wheels. Graphics were from Rip Vinyl and show caricatures of Novak, his wife, Anita, and their four children. Novak is the driver and the truck is used for residential septic and grease trap service.
