    That will be great so long as you have a good way to load it.

    Nice hauler! I toyed around with the idea of the military trailers, but their super high deck height ruined it. Interested to hear how it works out for ya.

    I'm planning on using the tractor around the homestead to load. Scrounging I'll do it the old fashioned way with two hands and maximum effort.

    429 minor cosmetic stuff but seems to run and drive fine. Wood in the bed will need replacing and I'd like to take the cab shield off.

    Oh boo hoo, my 3500 with the 8.1 gets 6 1/2 ... I feel the pain my friend. So maybe not driving it on say "Tuesday's" would be more responsible ?

    Just wait, next he will show us a picture of the other side were the firewood processor is mounted.
    And instead of a GPS it came equipped with a bikini model who reads the directions to you while holding your coffee.

    Craigslist! Funny, it was on CL a while ago and thought it was too big for my needs. By the time I realized I could use a bigger truck this was no longer available. Good friend of mine spotted it for sale near his house and now it resides at my place.

    Is that a dump body or just a flat bed?

    The dump bed really comes in handy. I will add one of them to my absolutely have to have, can't get by without list. You know the same list I need one of every chain saw ever made. I was recently looking at the Isuzu NPR with a dump body but sticker shock won out....... I'll keep looking. Nice find OP
