well she has left the stable , my 97 dodge cummins which i owned from new and converted to a mason dump awhile back left the yard yesterday a small tear in the corner of the eye but it was time to part ways :usa damn good truck 160k care free miles ,felt weird not seeing her in the yard this am but it was a great truck and im hoping the young guy who owns her now has the same luck ive had,, he was excited for sure ( pics of her replacement to follow)
here she is 2001 isuzu cab over, 19500 gvw 100k on the 7.8 (she is just about broken in lol ) amliroll al90l and 12yd can came with the deal, I picked up the green 8yd can the other day which needs some work, I already painted the 12yd can ,added a tool box, wheel covers, poly fenders and started to clean her up for paint . now with the sale of the dodge im ordering a 12' chipper body as well as a flat bed to set up a with fuel tank ,tool boxes, and eventually compressor , torches and welder/ gen:usa hope this truck is able to do the job of two with the hook lift capability's and even might get a few cans for another add on service , march is here and i have high hopes for this season
Looks like a nice trade up from the 1-ton dump. I think you will be happy with the hook lift and it's versatility.
The japs make good trucks too! Nice purchase
thanks lol, hell the shovel is made in japan. at least one of 'em is ,,,,, the backhoe is the only thing i believe is U.S. built ,,,,kinda sad
Don't get to involved with work. kiting season is here!! Leigh
flat rack would be nice.. also a small container to store stuff ... or even a used as a small office
yes leigh new kites are in the pick up and ready to go brrrrr damn nw winds
its amazing how many trucks a hooklift can replace. I use a range of bins, beaver tail tray, stock create for cattle, tray with a large crane mounted on the back and also use the hook for carrying heavy things around the yard
What a great idea! I have been looking for a way to utilize one vehicle to do a variety of jobs. Currently I have a dump trailer, flatbed trailer, landscape trailer and enclosed trailer for tools. I could do the same thing, but much easier with one truck and several bodies to handle the same tasks. John
yes sir, thats was the big push to get a hook and lift , the flat bed is being delivered today also i picked up a used southco chipper body and have been fitting a hook skid to it im close to being done with welding/ fab work then a coat of paint for a pic or two ,, so far so good ,, the isuzu has some advantages and some draw backs but so far im happy with it
flat bed set up with fuel tank and a tool box still waiting on the other boxes
