    Wise Purchase Ben. I would assume that this truck is under 26,000# GVW. If it is, you don't need a Commercial Drivers License.

    If the deck isn't a JerrDan, make all the fittings and slide mechanism is well greased. Check for rust or corrosion under the deck. It also looks like you can attach a stinger on the rear, to tow an extra car.

    Ditch the chains, and go for a new set of tow straps. Otherwise, good luck. #towing

    Very nice score, Ben.

    The 5.9 is likely a Cummins, so it'll last forever. Nice to see it in a chassis which will last a similar length of time.

    The downside is, kinda like owning a pickup, you're now any "friends" first call should something need moving.

    That's a downside I'd take.

    Personally, I'd prefer the 4-speed Allison trash-truck-transmission, but for this price, there are no complaints. #towing

    Great find, Mr. Wojdyla! I'd say that most of these guys are very envious of your buy.

    @skaycog: It is. That's Eph's in downtown Detroit. They used to give out a jar of unbelievably good garlic dill pickles with each sandwich order, but since they were bought out by Foran's Grand Trunk Tavern next door, they don't anymore. Very sad.

    great! think of the viking repo men in Stockholm coming to repossess your '10 camaro when you bum out on that sub prime loan

    your fight dogs - trained to listen and attack at the sound of a diesel wrecker- will doubtless be calm and obedient as Sven Cletusson yanks your wheels away

    If you were inclined to join a private track, I suspect that the annual dues could be substantially recouped through towing fees earned helping your new buddies move track cars around. #towing
