Yea you question has a lot of room for imagination. I agree with the others, first look into replacing the transmission. If you do it yourself you will learn a lot and perhaps save enough to pay for some of the tools you may not already have.
I own a cargo van, its a ford e250(3/4 ton), its made to do the job want it to. I receintly got rid of a chev 1/2 ton p/u with a 6' bed. I liked having both vehicles. The way I used them was pick up in the van and tear down on the tail gate of the truck. I would then toss the shred forward on the truck for the trip to the yard. I found the 6' bed very limiting and my son was in need of a vehicle.
Since using just the van I am seriously considering buying a trailer and put my shred directly into the trailer. This would save me moving the shred a least one more time.
One of the things I like best about using my van is I don't have to cover my load or worry that something will fall out while I am headed to the yard. Also I have my one customer will put a pallet in the back
and then push it forward with the second. jThis has made for very fast loading for me. Mike
