On-Truck Shower Project..

The old 1979 K100 in my profile pic was set up with a shower in the back when I got it. There was a side box on the driver's side with two 60 gallon tanks in it that had big 8" screw on caps on top. There was a heat exhchanger mounted behind the transmission cooler to warm the water up. Fill up one tank, drop the sump in, put the discharge hose in the empty tank, and run the water through the exchanger. They'd run it from one tank to the other with the truck running until it was warm enough for their liking, then hook the pump up to the shower tank and fill it. It looked like an old air compressor tank with a shower head coming out the bottom, and a water hose with a ball valve at the top, as well as an air hose with a check valve, ball valve, and pressure gauge. Fill the water tank, crack the air valve, and you've got variable pressure. They used the empty tank to catch the grey water, since it was usually used at racetracks, and they frown on discharging liquids on the blacktop.

To prevent freezing in the winter, just add some isopropyl alcohol.

Goop. Pick it up at walmart. Get the big tub for $8 and a 50 pack of cotton rags for $20 and you're set. I reuse the rags when I'm greasing the truck, then either toss them or use them for starting wood fires.
