Moto-Brian Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Ok, so thinking of a cargo van with a diesel motor. I prefer a 7.3 Ford, but willing to talk gas motors as well as Chevy...I would like to consider trading for my dually. Cash, plus cash, you give me cash plus, etc...3 colors only - Black, White or Silver/Grey.XL length preferred, but will look at a standard.No windows in back sides. OK at the side door if need be, but that's the most. Windows in the back doors is OK also...Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester3681 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I drove past the mixing center at Walbridge Yard today - it was full of Chevy full size vans. All white, but all with windows. Brand spanking new thought! Thought of you... have you checked any government auctions? A lot of government agencies used full size panel vans... I doubt you'd find diesel, but you may get a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester3681 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I have my shitty mobile internet right now... I think the site is www.gsa.gov and then look for an auction link. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used my former companies sprinter can when I moved into my house. The room in those things is quite surprising. One big plus is that they are tall enough to walk in.

Not hard, but still looking. Shoot me a PM as to year, miles, etc. and some pics. I'll post some of my truck also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 OK, some pics of the dually I'd like to trade for. I was going to sell this to a good friend for $10k and would use that as the measuring stick for a trade. $10k is a really great deal on this rig...The stats on the truck are as follows:-1999.5 Powerstroke 7.3 - Yes, a HUGE difference in trucks between 99 and 99.5. Rotors, airbox, etc...-Dually 4x4 Crew Cab with 8' bed.-Custom graphics PAINTED on. Not a single decal used. Painted by TOAD Designs who paint custom cigarette style boats. Actually paints for Cigarette specifically...-Larger/high performance turbo housing-High performance turbo impeller.-Silicone hoses on intercooler lines.-Crankcase breather mod. Makes the truck smell a bit, but is better overall for the truck.-5" turbo back exhaust.-Automatic (Larger towing limits due to torque converter)-KMC Rockstar wheels.-A-Pillar gauges.-Husky molded mudflaps.-172k miles. That breaks down to under 14k a year.Truck does not have a 5th wheel so, you know it hasn't been tortured. I have only pulled a 20' enclosed race trailer as the heaviest pulling it has done. Currently, have a 17' trailer we run that gets pulled.Needs tires, but that's it. There's the typical rust that these Powerstrokes get - inside under the front doors. This is not near as bad as most I have seen. The tailgate inside lower area. Typical amounts. Looks like shit when you drop the tailgate, but isn't anything out of the ordinary...Does have some wear where I had a fiberglass cover. Wrapped around the top rails and the top of the tailgate. Rubbed the tailgate... Not bad and has been off for over 5 years...I also have a set of front springs to bolt on and level the front. Never got to it, but they are new and will go with the truck.Quick pics:Uploaded with ImageShack.usUploaded with ImageShack.usUploaded with ImageShack.usUploaded with ImageShack.usUploaded with ImageShack.us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
