Hope to make a roll back out of a '61 GMC farm truck

Changed out the S-10 for a 6 cylinder F150

95 nissan. 23 1/2 tons in 2 years going on 95 K miles but it is my "trash truck" as the kids call it!

I have a 92 dodge dakota with the v8 engine so it sucks on gas and I mean that literally lol. I wish I had bought a bigger truck if im going to have a gas guzzler it might as well be a big one.

1994 F150
Extended Cap and 8' box with cap

I pull a 6'X10' trailer behind to load the scrap in. The ramp makes it much easier to load appliances then lifting them into the bed. Much less wear and tear on the truck as well.

This picture was taken when I was cutting apart some old school buses at a farm.

The cap makes it nice to store my tools and keep them dry, don't want to be without one.

'91 chevy s10 ext cab. looks like hell, and drives like gold. perfect for the job

97 dodge ram LWB... 2 trailers and dolly.. or and a great wife that understands...lol

I love this thread, but it makes me jealous.

I want to buy a new car next year and (providing I start the new job I'm after) I have been thinking about getting a Range Rover. They are built near me and I always liked the idea of buying from a company that employs locally . . . BUT . . . I read this thread a few days ago and it goy me thinking more about Mitsubishi Warriors and other similar vehicles. Space in the back to scrap and do other manly stuff, but also I would have plenty of seats to still use it as a family car.

Picked up a '88 Chevy 2500 4x4 350 auto. Brother tells me it's a heavy half. I don't know enough about these to know. It says 2500 on the door, but he seems to think that because it's a 6 lug, it's only a heavy half.

Hopefully it will serve me well.

Paid $900. Has a decent rack, newer tires, and brand new tool box on it.

Really nice looking truck for that kind of money.

A wheelbarrow, no joke, we use it more than the truck which is a 96 Dodge with the first generation Cummings with almost 700 k on the clock.

Find a utility trailer. No sense insuring 2 trucks if you don't have to.

I believe you can deduct actual expense OR mileage, but not both.

i have 1996 2 door tahoe that is almost to nice to scrap i also have a tailer that can use too

1997 S-10 2.2 4cyl...extra leafs pretty economical and strong little truck and at 394k it'S almost new !

1998 Dodge cheap on fuel with H2O cell on.
12X8 tandem utility trailer, and a car dolley.

95 dodge ram 2500 5 spd. 8/15 hwy mileage per gallon. 360 magnum. Tows my boat sometimes. craigs list special.Tim

Man wavecrazed that is a sharp looking trailer, I want one.

Finally got around to locating a door. $500 for the truck. $100 for the door. $14 and change for pins/bushings and I am up and runnin'.

Door hangs up just a tad, but latches fine.

I think this will be a good runabout for pickups and not piddle away so much fuel driving the full size.
