Walters T900 #16
Back in March, SLS had the opportunity to attend the handover of Legend T900 #16. The truck was purchased by Walters Contracting Pty Ltd from CJD Equipment in Launceston.
This limited edition Kenworth was built in memory of their son, brother, grandson, nephew and mate Isaac “Maxi” Walters who they lost 12mths ago at the tender age of 16.
During the handover event it was announced that CJD salesman Chris Saltmarsh had donated his commission from the sale of the truck to mental health awareness charity Make Runs Maxi. CJD then matched Chris’ donation, handing over a total of $10,000 to the charity.
SLS is proud to have been a part of this project, supplying the majority of the stainless as DIY kits that were then fitted by CJD.
Well done to all involved in producing one beauty of a truck! And congrats to Chris and Kim Walters – while a truck will never replace your son, it is a fitting tribute and definitely a beautiful rig to be proud of.
Items supplied by SLS included: Bug deflector, mudguard style steer flares, steer guard mudflap bracket, moto mirror lighted replacement backings, elephant ears, air cleaner covers, tank trims, cab trims, bunk trims and rear bunk trims.
