Common Questions About Custom Tank Trucks


At Osco Tank & Truck Sales, we often get some common questions from new clients asking about our custom tank trucks. Whether they’re looking for a used fire tanker or a DEF truck, there are some common questions that you might want to know the answers to as well. This article will discuss a few common questions and the answers.

Mountain Park Fire DepartmentHow Much Do Custom Tank Trucks Cost?

This is a great question, but it can only be answered by the specific type of truck you are looking for and what options you are interested in adding. A tank truck refurbishment, even while custom, will be a different price than a brand new top-of-the-line fire apparatus. Likewise, an agricultural truck may have other features than a water truck and cause the cost to differ. Don’t hesitate to contact us for price estimates, and we will work through the custom options you are looking for and give you a quote for the cost.

Can I Use My Truck’s Chassis?

This depends on a case-by-case basis, but most of the time, it is definitely possible! While we offer custom truck fabrication, we also offer truck refurbishment. What you’re interested in might fall under this category. We base our business on quality and reliability. If your equipment is aging and needs repair, truck refurbishment is often more economical than replacement. Our refurbishing process is rigorous and thorough, and we can help make your truck like new. Every Osco Certified chassis will receive fresh paint on the cab and chassis, new tires, brakes, powertrain fluids and filters, new bumper, 120-point inspection, road testing, and DOT inspection at an independent truck service center. Refurbishment can also include pump repair and tank replacement.
