Vehicle reimagination

A new job for a vehicle you already own

My main focus is rotating equipment and fluid systems. Vehicle adaptation is considered case by case where there is a defined operating need and a sound technical basis. The starting point is the existing vehicle and its intended duty, not a speculative conversion.

What this can mean

  • Repowering — a different engine or fuel system where the chassis and body are still sound. Farm and industrial operations sitting on biogas or RNG sometimes want their vehicles to run on what they make.
  • Repurposing — converting a vehicle from one duty to another: service body to water hauler, road truck to yard truck, and the like.
  • Adaptation — drivetrain, gearing, cooling, or mounting changes so the vehicle survives the duty it's actually seeing, not the duty it was bought for.

Feasibility first

Not every vehicle deserves the work. Before anything is ordered or cut, you get an honest assessment: what the conversion costs, what it buys you, what it does to reliability and resale, and where the regulatory lines are. Sometimes the right answer is "sell it and buy the right truck." I'll say so — I don't sell vehicles or parts, so the advice is clean either way.

If the vehicle is old rather than wrong — worth keeping on the road as what it is — that's the reuse side of the work.

Describe the vehicle and the job

Year, make, model, what it does now, and what you need it to do.
