    I'm thinking cost of ownership.

    The Ford probably uses something like a 235 /80r 22.5. A set of tires would be somewhere around 3,600.00 $

    Fuel mileage is prolly 8 mpg. Maybe 180.00$ at the gas station to fill up if it's got dual tanks ?

    All in all you could have 8 - 10 grand invested just to make it road worthy. None the less ... it's still a 45 year old truck.



    It might be better to go with the dump trailer. You can get one brand new for roughly 7,600.00 $
