Got My First Truck. Well, I am expanding. Sold the little dump trailer and purchased a dump truck. Not fancy, but paid for. Needs a little TLC but basically ready to roll. Paid 6 thousand for it. What do you guys think?

Re: Got My First Truck.
I'm not exactly in the dump truck buying business but it sounds and looks like a good deal to me. Ditto what SLS said.

Re: Got My First Truck.
Looks like it'll get the job done. How many tons can you legally carry on it? I never saw a 10 wheeler with 2 pistons on the body.

Re: Got My First Truck.
Upchuck, I see the 2 ram setup from time to time. Not super common. The GVWR of the truck is 52080. I do not know what the truck weighs yet. I am in the process of doing a major service on it before I put it to work. So far, the truck seems sound. Just a lot of minor maint. issues that were neglected.
