Looking for 4x4 Dump

[Nate Ebert]

Hello,

I'm looking for a a Mid 2000's small to medium sized 4x4 dump with tool storage. Chip truck with removable roof would be great, but I'm open to many options. I'll travel for the right truck, but I'm located in the Northeast. Also, I would strongly prefer an automatic.

Check out the f-450 I’m selling. It’s on treebay as well.

Thanks @simplyarbor. I saw that one but have always been a little leary of getting a gas truck. Also, it's more than I would want to spend, especially for a gasser.

Understood. Cheap repairs, good power, easy maintenance, mileage on par with newer diesels. We are moving towards more gas equipment with all the diesel emission complications.

I've got a couple trucks i was going to put up for sale in the spring.. But since you asked, I've got one that fits your description. 2002 f550 and no its not a 6.0, its one of the last 7.3. I've gotten rid of all the other smaller dumps over the years but kept this one since its 4x4 and minimal rust for a Michigan truck. I don't really work in the winter it sits parked and not driven in snow/salt. Let me look in my other phone for pics. It's been sitting parked for the last couple months at my lot.

Ok i found some from this summer. It just rolled 100k this summer two 5' aluminum under body tool boxes for storing all your saws and ropes/gear, it has a 16' dump box, 2nd auxiliary fuel tank for longer intervals but sorry not a auto Its a 6 speed. Its not a perfect truck just a good work truck. It will need a new seat, that's about what i can remember.. $15500 way it is now. If i wait for spring I'll change the seat, clean/touch it up be will be asking more.

@islandedge Thanks for the offer. Looks like a nice truck, but I found a rust free 7.3L down in Florida with that I'm gonna get.

@islandedge how many yards of chips will that thing hold? Is it the 17500 GVW or the 19500? I could be interested in the truck later in the winter or early spring, it’s a nice rig.

Thanks, It's big and probably going to be overweight if you chip it full. Its probably close to 30 yards.

From the pictures it looks like the sides and the top are welded directly to the body. Is that correct or are they removable? My primary need for my next truck is wood/tow skid steer and on the occasional large job chips.

Mert, If your building your own and can afford a little extra expense, consider making your removable top in aluminum. That will save you some GVW.

Yes they are welded. I cut and removed one row of the roof in the back since we use it as a wood truck half the time.
