The Norwesco N-40103 is a 425-gallon pickup truck water storage tank built for mobile hauling on a flatbed or in a truck bed. It runs 65 inches long by 65 inches wide and stands 39 inches tall, with a 65-inch footprint that seats squarely on a bed or trailer deck. The tank ships in white polyethylene at 97 pounds empty, carries an 8-inch lid for filling and inspection, and is FDA approved. This is the "W/O fitting" configuration, so it arrives without a pre-installed outlet fitting - you spec and install the outlet fitting your transfer setup needs.
Will it work for your haul?
Sizing is where truck tanks catch people. Filled with fresh water, 425 gallons weighs about 3,544 pounds, and the empty tank adds 97 pounds on top of that - so plan your bed or trailer rating around roughly 3,640 pounds of load before you add pump, plumbing, and mounts. The tank carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, and that is real headroom, not just a caveat: the wall is engineered to hold contents up to a maximum of about 5,317 pounds, so a buyer hauling something denser than fresh water - brine or an ag solution up to 1.5 SG - isn't at the tank's structural limit, they're at their truck-bed's rating. For plain water your governing number stays the 3,544-pound full figure. Keep service under 120 F (48 C). Because this is a specialty pickup-truck water tank rather than a stationary vertical, secure it against sloshing and shifting loads - a full tank moving on a moving vehicle is a real handling factor. Run your numbers against the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a bed.

The mistake to avoid
Do not order this tank without confirming your fitting plan. It comes without a fitting, so decide on outlet size, material, and location up front - and plan on a bulkhead fitting with a gasket at the outlet penetration, not a bare threaded nipple, because a transport tank vibrates and an ungasketed thread is the number-one leak point. Mount the tank so it is fully supported and strapped, not just set on the bed. Then water-fill test the installed fitting before the first haul - the hydrostatic test methodology guide walks the hold-time math and fitting-leak detection for a clean acceptance check. This is an FDA-approved white polyethylene tank; keep it dedicated to water service.
