Glory Days
#GloryDays is transformation #2 for Jarred & Cassy Sacca and the team at S&S Heavy Haulage. Purchased second hand this 2013 T909 has 350,000 kms on the clock and was brought to us to be overhauled and upgraded to suit the S&S/SLS spec.
As with the Sacca K200 we finished at the start of June, all work was done in house and as you can see in the album of photos there was much that wasn’t stripped, inspected, acid washed, repaired, scrubbed, polished, blasted, painted, redesigned or upgraded.
Chassis stripped, repaired, blasted & painted, cab painted back to white, striped, pin lined & scrolled, turntable stripped & painted, bulbar repaired, acid washed, sanded & polished, new bulbar signs, driving lights, grill mesh & grill bars, rubber steer flares, quarter guard mudflap brackets, chromed battery boxes, cab & sleeper roof lights, Air Kooled exhaust stacks, rack behind cab, Icepack base mounted on rack, toolboxes, water tank, fire extinguisher mount, air & electrical at rack, stiff bar with storage under rack…
Fuel tanks & J-brackets reconfigured, dummy fuel tank/EGR cover, dummy fuel tank/battery box cover, tanks painted & scrolled, stainless tank steps, tank trims, counterweight mount brackets, TV/DVD player, sleeper door storage inserts, shower & water pump, headlight defenders, elephant ears, air cleaner covers, exhaust shrouds, bunk trims, load lights, Stedi light bar on rear of cab, chassis side steps, tandem propeller plate mudguards with rubber quarter guard, rear bumper bar, chrome rims, hubcaps… and more
Congratulations Jarred on one very, very nice looking rig. Have fun keeping it clean!
And huge thanks to our talented team that pulled off this massive transformation. Definitely got a few more grey hairs throughout the process but seeing the final product makes it all worth while!
Necessary Evil
This K200 arrived to us with 84,000 kms on the clock, it was PALE GREEN and in much need of some TLC. We were under a lot of pressure to turn this one around quick & our awesome team of very talented guys went to work to pull off an amazing transformation.
All work was done in house! Yes, even the painting. SLS has always worked towards offering more and more services in house, offering a one stop shop experience to save customers time and money but also to give us the oversight across all aspects of a build. So it is time to announce that SLS now has the capabilities to offer complete spray painting, signwriting, lines and scrolls all in house. And we couldn’t have asked for a better maiden voyage!
Being a second hand truck there wasn’t much that wasn’t stripped, inspected, washed, polished, painted, redesigned or upgraded to suit the SLS/S&S spec.
Here’s a bit of a rough run sheet, but I think the before and after photos speak for themselves:
Cab painted, striped, pin lined & scrolled, Bullbar polished, stainless mesh headlight surrounds, visor, rubber steer flares, under cab spray suppressant, cab & sleeper roof lights, tank trims, cab scuffs, sleeper door storage, Air Kooled exhaust stack, dummy exhaust & shroud, stainless air rams, rack behind cab, Toolboxes, water tank, air & electrical at rack, front deckplate, chassis side steps, tandem propeller plate mudguards with rubber quarter guard, rear bumper bar, chrome rims, hubcaps… and more
