Your truck? - Page 10

I feel like i have posted this before..
1986 Chevy d30 m1008 (ex mil truck, 1 1/4 ton) 6.2 diesel th400 trans 4x4. Consistently gets 15mpgs (well 13 in the winter)
I have hauled 3900lbs with it before, man does it make it ride nice.



Towed 9000lbs with it too, didnt like the hills, but i know the truck better know and could do better with it.
Also it can run on WMO

Oh yea it was 1200 bucks from a fire department, no rust, drove it home

I keep coming back to this thread just to look at SCRAPDRIVE's dump truck. Its a piece of art I would start scrapping full time if owned something like that. I love the 1950's Fords so much. My best friend is restoring a 1953 f100 right now.

Yep i have a spare one to go in from a engine i got for scrap, i will bump up the fuel a tad then... who knows i might even turbo it if i can make a deal with taterjuice

Old trucks rule!

I am new to this thread and I love reading all your posts.

I started doing the same thing you guys are doing in 2008 using only a '91 Ford Ranger working out of my garage.
.
Now I have the following:

95 Peterbilt Tractor
15 Semi Trailers
2000 F650 24' Truck
'99 International 24' Truck
'93 International 24' Tandem Axel Rollback
93 GMC 16' Truck
2004 GMC 16' Cube Truck
And other assorted forklifts and equipment

I'm not bragging I just wanted to show how much a company can grow from very small beginnings.

1979 Chevy C20. Has a 350 with a 3 speed on the floor. Best Hauling truck, but not so good on gas.

1996 f350 4x4 7.3 diesel 8x12 stakebody with lift gate. Luv it. My wife doesn't...

thanks thats good to know. I dont think it matters how i drive it lol, she guzzles gas.

2000 chevy 1500 step side for srapping and plowing
2010 wrx stage 2 dd

2001 Ford escape, really wish I had a trailer...kinda limits what I can grab, but I work with it.

1983 7.5 Ford F-350 18ft Rampside with belt lift
1999 Chevy Express 3500

1993 Ford F150, great work horse .
1994 Acura integra , use for picking up the little stuff.

1996 Mercury Grand Marquis
It has a V-8 and a mobster sized trunk.

If it has 4 wheels and a cargo bed, it's a truck. Thus my bike-trailer set is a truck. The back end is wider than the front, so it's like riding a dually.

My neigber uses his nissan 200sx lol his latest Pictures by joebob49 - Photobucket

I've thought about modifying a wheelbarrow or 4 wheel wagon as a trailer. The luxury scrapping option would be a dump cart, but those are more expensive than I want to spend when I don't know if it would work as a trailer.
