    I use a 1992 Chevy Silverado c2500. 4.3l, auto. Got it for free from my grandpa and he bought it from a power plant where it was a service truck. I've beat the hell out of it and it still keeps on running. I love my chevys. I've also got a Jeep Commanche that I inherited from my other grandfather, but it's not a daily driver.

    I had Wright in 1825 Fall River Avenue Seekonk, MA 02771 build it
    Then I had them add lots of extra D rings
    On the Drivers side I have 3 of the 4" wide strap winches installed. When I know the vehicle is nothing but junk I toss the strap right over the top
    Set of plow lights that come on as backup lights on low beam and a switch for high beams to use as a work light
    Harbor Freight 12K winch on the front and a 8K Ramsey REP winch under the first car
    As you can see, slight beaver tail and the ramps slide into the trailer so they are easy to get and store out of the way
    I had the lip they sit in extended all the way across the trailer so they can be adjusted to any width
    I can and have towed dually's. I pull them onto the trailer until the outside wheels almost touch the plow lights, Then tie them in place

    I was just about to finally buy a truck today.. a 99 Ford Ranger. It was missing the front bumper and needed new tires and a little minor work done to get it into good running order, but I could have got it at a darn good price.... However, the lady selling it had never filed for a new registration after getting it from her ex-husband. The title was in his name and supposedly signed over to her in the section on the back for new buyers. I told her to call me back when she got a title in her name; however, I get the impression she's just going to find somebody else to try and bamboozle.

    2005 Silverado ext cab and also a homemade 4'x8' trailer that has paid for itself many times over. The truck is my daily driver back and forth to work and the scrapping vehicle, its been getting a lot of miles and wear and tear.

    Picked up a second(third?fourth? if you count my yard lol) truck recently. Got it at auction.

    It is a 1998 GMC 3500 Crew cab 4x4 dually.
    Has the 454 and auto tranny.

    Drove it home, registered it today.

    It has a giant enclosed maintenance box on the rear, but it is rusty. I will take it off and replace with flat or dump bed hopefully.

    Needs tie rod ends, ac compressor clutch, 2 tires, heater fan. Little things.

    I am into it now for under 2k

    98 Chevy 3500 Cab & Chassis truck with 20ft flatbed, The cab&chassis frame is made stronger and thicker than a 3500HD truck, Ive had over 10k lbs on this bad boy and never broke a sweat. With some other loads Ive hauled. Last pick is me moving a RV canopy on my trailer. And of course my Obama sticker, its going to stay on my truck for the rest of my life! Funny part is its only a 350 under the hood about 15mpg loaded or not.

    Ive had the regular beds and what not but i would not own anything other than a flatbed, its unlimited what you can do with it! Plan to make a removable box so i can make it a box truck if i wish.

    SkrRecycling, too bad you're not closer to Boise. I have 2 box trucks to part out for one of my customers. Both are sitting on 1 ton GMC chassisses I think.
