The guy i bought it from was doing plumbing and they weren't using it so they sold it to me. It has the sliding bed cover so I can lock up my large saws etc.. I put a new am/fm/cd radio and added the rims; I picked those up for 150$ and I just rebuilt the radiator.
I do mostly remodel work, kitchens,baths, decks. Occasionally we do an addition or even build a house foundation up. I work with a couple contractors here but work has been slow. Spring is coming and Im sure things will start getting busy.
Hows biz in TX.?

Home construction seems to be up here, but that doesn't really affect my handyman work. Always constant.

Re: Post Your Work Truck/van Thread


...on the fourth day he said "let there be light"....

What a great thing those lights are...I was sick of using a flash light to find items/replace items at night or in the wee early morning hours I sometimes work for commerical jobs.... I had to aim them almost all the way down as to not blind myself....lights up the bed and surrounding area as well...


This is my Ranger, worked a 250 in the budget this year, but the Ranger will stay with me for crappy work...

Re: Post Your Work Truck/van Thread


Hey guys, I had to show it off. My first work truck!! 2006 Chevy Silverado 4x4. I've been working out of a car for my previous 6 years. Finished my apprenticeship, got a raise, so went out and got a truck!! The cap was installed last week.

Picked up some TracRac accessories Tuesday from Apgar, as well as an additional set of TracRacs. Maybe I'll get the bedrails to fit the other truck and have another setup.

Re: Post Your Work Truck/van Thread


My tonka work truck. GMC C65 Low Pro w/ 12.5 Reading body and Cat diesel. Has built-in air to handle several nail guns and a 5kw gen set. Hauls everything I need. It works great since, I always have several projects going at once and always need differant tools during the course of the day. It's a bit heavy duty, but I get a lot of thumbs up.
