Bob Pierce might still have the one he used at VCS last year.

I'd check with Eldora, but I'm not sure they have one, and if they do it probably has low milege.

I would think he could rent one from any of the major construction rental companies.

easy fix, if he can pick it up to haul it off he can pick it up to mount it back on the chassis.3 or 4 hours at most.

It's nothing a little duct tape and balin' wire won't fix.

I was thinking a couple bungee cords would do the trick.

Those beds are not attached as well as you might think. That tank was probablly only held on by 4-8 bolts. My guess would be that the mounts either rusted out or the bolts rusted in 2. The sloshing around of the water probablly gave it just enough momentum to roll off. Like someone already said, 3 to 4 hours of work and its fixed. Weld on a few new brackets and its fixed. The toughest part would be getting the tank back on.

Seeing those pics reminds me of years ago was at Chandler spedway with my dad and the water truck fliped over like twice and tank rolled out and knocked a light pole down . Races were cancelled that night
