This was a very unique rig. It was originally painted yellow the lime green now RED. Also it was made by Amthor's with an American Barton bumper pumper pump. I believe Amthor's was listed as New York State on the build plate. Any idea about this rig???

Amthor's is a large tanker company which specializes in propane & oil delivery trucks. This truck was probably build in Walden, NY, where their HQ was until 1992, and they operated a shop until 6 months ago. Their [url="http://www.amthorinternational.com/"]website[/url] claims they are the nation’s largest and most diverse manufacturer of truck mounted tanks.
