Zx2guy19 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Looking for a "nice" work truck. A few requirements: 4x4 V8 Not completely rusted the hell out (rules out most Silverado's) Prefer something with power windows/locks/etc. At least 4 door extended cab...no 2 seaters. Prefer 6 ft+ bed I have found a few F150's that seem to fit my bill, both are 150-160k miles. I will only drive it 3-5k miles a year so not really worried about mileage (unless it has like 350k) Trying to stay within 5-7k. Anyone have something that fits the bill before I pull the trigger on one of these others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotCarl Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 You could check out Ironplanet.com Auctioned work trucks. As with any auction some are better than others but they have all sorts of stuff on there. Have seen a handful of Ecoboost f150's on there for a decent price. Some Chevy's, some absolute beaters of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I have the time to buy one on here now, but I've been looking for a dump truck for my rentals. This may do the trick in the future. Thanks!

I think I'm picking one up tomorrow with 150k miles for $5500, clean as hell. Just have to verify the rust and we should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVE-O Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 lol can you drive a dump truck with a normal license? As long as it does not have air brakes then yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zx2guy19 Posted June 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 lol can you drive a dump truck with a normal license? As long as it does not have air brakes then yes Steve's right...air brakes are one of 2 factors. The other is a GVWR of less than like 26,000 lbs. This one is like 16,500.

Zx2guy19 Posted June 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Going to pick it up Tuesday in Evansville, IN...it's definitely a smaller dump truck, but for $2800, it'll pay for itself in 1 house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came back then left at like 5:00am to go get it, got back in the evening and left again this morning for a few days or of state for work lol Fwiw said the dump truck was actually in really good shape for the money and made it the 6+ hour drive back without a hiccup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 be careful of F-150's... I had a '99 with under 100k miles and it rusted from the inside out (talking radiator core support rusted through and I had to zip tie the radiator to the jack that was mounted in the engine bay.

For sure and the bed rails ,cab corners and rockers rust out of the 04+ ones as well, on top of the 5.4 issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Had a '98 F150 I got from Jordan. Sold it at 6 miles shy of 300k with the 4.6L and only a bit of surface rust on the rear door. Moral of the story? Buy from Jordan. He'll guarantee rust prevention....maybe. :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zx2guy19 Posted June 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Picked up the dump truck on Tuesday. Drove 6 hours each way to basically St. Louis. My business partner lost the Rock Paper Scissors and had to drive that bitch back with no AC or radio. It’s 1991 7.3L powerstroke with an 8 ft bed. It’s definitely not big but plenty for what we need. Only paid $2600 and I spent nearly $5k in the last year on dumpsters, so it’ll pay for itself pretty quick. Pics soon. Still looking for a regular truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
