Since a lot of you like trucks and equipment like me, I'm making a thread with what I've got laying around currently. What's staying (for now), what's for sale, where it came from, etc.
As many of you know, the company I own buys/sells heavy equipment and commercial trucks. Admittedly, I really only end up buying trucks that I like so a few of them end up staying around or replacing something else that I own already. Most of you know about El Malo and my silver WS6 Formula already, so this will focus on my other shit.
I'll just make new posts with pics that I take at the auctions of cool stuff, stuff that I buy, the trucks that I have in cool pictures or towing cool shit. IDK, just randomness that encompasses my life and business. I'll even post links to cool trucks in upcoming online auctions.
Here are my current "keep" trucks that are plated, insured and currently driven for work.
-2012 F-350 Lariat. My DD. Deleted/Tuned 6.7 Diesel. Fun truck, currently for sale. Replacement TBD
2001 Ford F-350. 7.3 PSD. 250,000 miles. 100% Mechanically stock when I got it, SCT Tuner only now. Never seen road salt, a toy to me but I work it in the summers.
2003 GMC Yukon 3/4 Ton 4x4. 6.0 LQ4. 319,000 miles currently. Bought it for parts for $1,000. (frame for my gray yukon that was involved in an accident). Drove too nice. I've put just about 10,000 miles on it this year. Just discovered the frame is rotted right between the rear leaf and where the hitch bolts up. Not sure what is going to happen with it yet, still driving it every day to the farm and back, just no more towing.
1997 Ford F-250 HD. 5.8/auto/4x4. 130,000 miles. Stupid straight, always stored inside ex Prospect Heights municipal truck. One of my plow trucks. Going to slap cab corners and rockers in it in the spring. Maybe a flatbed once the bed is too far gone. LOVE this truck.
1993 Chevy K2500. TBI 350/700r4. 90,000 miles. Back-up plow truck, pretty much use it as a SxS around the farm fixing fences and such. This will be its last year plowing (frame is rusted through in the front). It'll live out its days picking up hay and fixing fences around Harvard.
2011 Ford Ranger. 2.3 auto 2wd. 160,000 miles. I just bought this Tuesday 1/21/20. Needs a transmission but was owned by a tree service so it's very very clean. I'm starting up a new business doing lawn aeration so I'll be fabricating a bi-fold ramp tailgate so that two guys and two aerators can fit in the bed. Perfect little truck for the task.
These are the trucks currently for sale.
2011 Ford F-550 4x4. 6.7 PSD. 195,000 miles. I wish I could find a reason to keep this. I love it so much. Used it occasionally in the few months I've had it.
2012 Ford F-250 4x4. 6.2 gas. 214k miles. Nothing special. I get a lot of these in and out the door.
2011 Ford F-250 4x4. 6.2 gas. Same as the one above. Just a typical in and out flip.
