Next Truck: A Suburban?

I love the ability to remove seats or add them in if needed. I rarely have the seats in unless it's for towers, then I'll put in the first bench, an stack around it if need be. Even then I rarely put the seats in. I've had them in for the last two weeks due to having our Niece down spending a week with us. This last week I've just not removed it. Going to do it in the morning tho as i need to hit the yard, the metal pile is getting in my way for some other projects so time to cash it in.

I think I'd go with a larger van tho next time. I have no desire for a truck, lest not for scrapping. Just not an expense I feel like taking on at the moment. When I do get a truck it will be used for riding on the beach by me or up in the 4 wd area at the north end. The only scrapping it would see is from the small town Carova which is in the 4wd area I just mentioned.

Either way tho like I said above you gotta go with what best fits you an your company. I can get by with my van, but i know it won't work for everyone.



Good luck with what ever you decide to do..an remember the pictures when you do get it.

Sirscrapalot - Thundercats hooooO!

And, yes- there will be pictures!

Maybe these pics of our past/current trucks will help. These are my '"larger loads" from the "Show Us Your Truck" thread:

This image is half-unloaded. The load went all the way to the tailgate. See that ugly grey duckling in the background? That's a 1987 Chevrolet R10. It's 2x4, and has the 305/4 Speed Auto combination. That was what the truck looked like when I fixed it. Here's what she looks like today:



That load of cases scaled at 1260 pounds. I drive the Chevy once or twice a week. The Dakota is on the DL with a cracked transfer case. I think the green and white Oliver paint scheme looks nicer than the "50 shades of grey" theme

This is what I currently run. Depending on what the Chevy needs to be reliable, I may build a box-type thing and make a "mini box truck"??? What are your thoughts on that idea?
