Bought Me A Dump Truck Tonight:)


Checked off another tool, bought a 1981 Chevy 1T dually with 10' flat/dump bed-new paint, tires, brakes, heater core,wheel covers, seat cover with 130K on the odometer.

Heading to Indiana first thing tomorrow to pick it up and get'er back so wwe can put it to use, I've got 2 big demo/remodleing jobs this month so this purchase could not have come at a better time-can u say 13 yrs of loading/unloading by hand . I just hope it runs/drives as well as the guy said it does...taking cash just in case it's junk I can walk away and redeposit my funds

Got my flames cut out for the cube van FINALLY as well as lettering for type of work we do, then ran 4' short for hood flames in the chrome diamond plate vinyl that we had to wait 3 weeks for to begin with , so placed another order and hopefully have the rest ready for installing by next weekend...but now I gots another truck to letter up also Gonna just do a plain jane for the dump truck since cab is all white and it wont get as much jobsite time as the rest of the trucks...not to mention not as much space to letter since it's a cab only.

I'll get the pictures posted once everything is FINALLY done lettering wise between my sign guy and myself being behind schedule wise, just is'nt enough hrs in a day for these lil things All that left is finding my skid steer and building my shop and I'll be a very happy man...until I think of something else I just have to have LOL!!!
