My truck is a 89 chevy C70 Flat bed dump truck, I can haul 16 gaylord at a time, or load it up with metal and dump it...
Five speed, wished it had one more gear... but great running truck after, I had to put in a new clutch. and master cylindar
and new tires. and oh.. a Kick ass Pioneer stereo with 8" speakers new one sony poly carb in each door. Thumps to be heck going down the road,
That five speed in them old 2ton trucks is more like a 4 speed with a extra 1st gear
94 geo metro 4 door for the daily driver, its been gutted and gets 35-40mpg, will haul 800-1000 pounds of scrap
97 chevy 2500 with 24ft trailer use it for hauling big loads and picking up cars, can get 3 scrap cars on the trailer after processing and another 1/2 of one in the 8ft bed for a 4 ton load and gets an amazing 8-10mpg when hauling
07 jeep liberty 4wd another daily driver
sweet a metro lol im sorry not making fun of you is it the 4 cylinder that runs on 3 in city .always wanted to put motorcycle motor in one but i want one of these http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j0...Dump-Truck.jpg Tire Certification: ISOQuote:

actually the metro is a 3 cylinder 1.0L, pulled the head and had it rebuilt last year but it didnt get enough compression, i thought the head rebuild would be enough for sure since it had 2 burnt valves, but im still getting compression in the 110-120 range so now im going to have to pull the motor and rebuild the short block, i can get the parts for $150 and my engine builder will be in the $200-$300 range assuming the crank is reusable. It has 150k miles on it so i dont know. I am planning on swapping out the crank pulley with an aluminum one and swapping the camshaft with a metro xfi cam to get the mpg up higher. Gonna go ahead and rebuild the tranny myself while the engine is out. The tranny rebuild kit is just $60 so why not. Thats the best thing about having a 3 cylinder is the parts are so friggin cheap.

Any more info on that trailer??
I use a 1992 Chevy Silverado c2500. 4.3l, auto. Got it for free from my grandpa and he bought it from a power plant where it was a service truck. I've beat the hell out of it and it still keeps on running. I love my chevys. I've also got a Jeep Commanche that I inherited from my other grandfather, but it's not a daily driver.
I see you are in Ma alsoQuote:

On the Drivers side I have 3 of the 4" wide strap winches installed. When I know the vehicle is nothing but junk I toss the strap right over the top
Set of plow lights that come on as backup lights on low beam and a switch for high beams to use as a work light
Harbor Freight 12K winch on the front and a 8K Ramsey REP winch under the first car
As you can see, slight beaver tail and the ramps slide into the trailer so they are easy to get and store out of the way
I had the lip they sit in extended all the way across the trailer so they can be adjusted to any width
I can and have towed dually's. I pull them onto the trailer until the outside wheels almost touch the plow lights, Then tie them in place
I was just about to finally buy a truck today.. a 99 Ford Ranger. It was missing the front bumper and needed new tires and a little minor work done to get it into good running order, but I could have got it at a darn good price.... However, the lady selling it had never filed for a new registration after getting it from her ex-husband. The title was in his name and supposedly signed over to her in the section on the back for new buyers. I told her to call me back when she got a title in her name; however, I get the impression she's just going to find somebody else to try and bamboozle.
SEEKONK! Memories of the raceway there...all i could hear on weekend nights in the summer with the windows opened. Ah, the good ole days!Quote:

2005 Silverado ext cab and also a homemade 4'x8' trailer that has paid for itself many times over. The truck is my daily driver back and forth to work and the scrapping vehicle, its been getting a lot of miles and wear and tear.
Picked up a second(third?fourth? if you count my yard lol) truck recently. Got it at auction.
It is a 1998 GMC 3500 Crew cab 4x4 dually.
Has the 454 :( and auto tranny.
Drove it home, registered it today.
It has a giant enclosed maintenance box on the rear, but it is rusty. I will take it off and replace with flat or dump bed hopefully.
Needs tie rod ends, ac compressor clutch, 2 tires, heater fan. Little things.
I am into it now for under 2k
My truck and trailer. I hate an empty truck and trailer ;)

98 Chevy 3500 Cab & Chassis truck with 20ft flatbed, The cab&chassis frame is made stronger and thicker than a 3500HD truck, Ive had over 10k lbs on this bad boy and never broke a sweat. With some other loads Ive hauled. Last pick is me moving a RV canopy on my trailer.http://s16.scrapmetalforum.com/f8tz37k85/flatbed1.jpghttp://s16.scrapmetalforum.com/i5h03hq1x/flatbed2.jpghttp://s8.scrapmetalforum.com/tk64mgjf9/flatbed3.jpghttp://s10.scrapmetalforum.com/p6aicmpah/flatbed4.jpghttp://s7.scrapmetalforum.com/bofywfkyz/flatbed5.jpg And of course my Obama sticker, its going to stay on my truck for the rest of my life!http://s13.scrapmetalforum.com/c2a1l0nx3/flatbed_NO.jpg Funny part is its only a 350 under the hood :) about 15mpg loaded or not.
That truck is off the dam chain ! Definitely having flatbed envy right bout now
Ive had the regular beds and what not but i would not own anything other than a flatbed, its unlimited what you can do with it! Plan to make a removable box so i can make it a box truck if i wish.
SkrRecycling, too bad you're not closer to Boise. I have 2 box trucks to part out for one of my customers. Both are sitting on 1 ton GMC chassisses I think.
