Your truck?

I have a 2006 chevy 3/4 ton diesel. I originally bought the truck to haul my jeep to the trail but lost the jeep and trailer in a divorce. Got tired of the high truck payment so I put the truck to work for me hauling scrap part time.

1995 Dodge 3/4 longbed Cummins 2wd paid $2555 from online bankruptcy auction 240K miles
1991 Dodge 3/4 longbed Cummins 4x4 paid $3000 from local thrift store donated to 100K miles
1992 Chevy S10 flatbed 2.8 V6 5 speed paid $1100 craigslist 180k miles
1997 GMC fullsize cargo van 5.7 v8 paid $750 on ebay 220k miles haven't used yet because it needs power steering gear box and registration for my state
18' Carson steel deck flatbed car trailer paid $1100 craigslist, put $250 harbor freight 9k winch on
16' Carson wood deck flatbed car trailer paid $1100 craigslist, put $300 smittybilt xrc8k winch on
Car dolly brand unknown paid $250 craigslist

Scrapping cars paid for all of that stuff when I started out I had a 88 chevy suburban 454 fuel injected that got 8 mpg and a crappy 15' flatbed race car trailer with no winch, come along and a chain all day long, haha. Just had to work hard and wait for the right deals to fall into my lap, the only way I could afford nice work stuff. I also have a 69 chevy tow truck with the holmes 440 wrecker bed/sling but not sure if I'm going to ever use it until I get a buddy to weld a wheel lift on.

Subtracted the GMC cargo van and added a 1993 Dodge Ram 3/4 ton ext cab longbed with 318 magnum. Clean grandpa truck.
