New Truck

[apple]

Are you building the skid yourself or outsourcing it?

I cant weld good enough for something like this. Ive had help from a local welder putting this together. Ill see if I can take a few pics in the next day or so.

Is it gas or diesel?How much does something like that go for in Ark?

 

[apple]

Its a gas burner JC. I gave 3k for this truck. Its in great shape and if nothing goes wrong with it Ill be happy.

 

[cajun cleanin]

Wow! Thats pretty good.With those miles around here it would be 6k.

Nothing beats a Ford! Especially the white commercial versions like above. The straight bench and rubber floor make it for easy cleanup after a hard day/night worth of dirty work. The white exterior cleans up good. The V8/V10 offer plenty enough power for most applications.

I looked for a long time before I came across this truck. I had about given up and thought I was going to be paying 5k for something with 200k miles.

I bought this the day before Christmas eve. Before I even asked about price the guy told me over the phone that he would take 3k. He solved my problem and I guess I helped make their Christmas a little merrier.

Good deal Chris. Great truck

Here are a few pics of our progress so far...

I am definately ready to be done with it.

Chris did you reinforce those bed rails? If not it will fatique very quickly and you will have to find a new spot for the reels. Our hose reels come off the ladder rack in the rear.

Yeah there is 2x3 angle running down the bed rail.

Its almost finished. It lacks a wrap and Id like to rhino line the bed. Im also going to add a roof pump in the near future but besides that its ready to work.

Time to get after it...

Man, I never thought a guy could put so much into a bed of a truck! Good job.

...and my duct tape mirror LOL.

Chris, do you have any pics of that truck finished? Were putting together another pickup rig and I was looking for some ideas.
Thanks

Well working out of the truck bed was just difficult. I've since put a flatbed on it.

 

[Christopher]

That is a nice flatbed truck Chris, I like those fold down sides.
