    Three-way Tailgates for Dumptrucks

    Thanks guys. It was raining here yesterday so I was able to take my Truck thru inspection(with a driver who has a CDL, I take my road Test Jan. 17) and we then went to Bristol -Donald to see about the Tailgate. It's pretty much a no-brainer since I need a new Tailgate anyway. My Dump body is in...

    I would look at an IH 4900. There is one that just popped up in somerville NJ. Pick up Big Truck and equipment or look on line. There's a 94 with 45k original miles. Comes with a 30,000 lb equipment Trailer and the asking price is $24,000. Vertical exhaust with low miles probably means it was...

    1986 International 1900 Dumptruck

    Thanx for the insight Guys. Orchard Ex, I'm sure you've seen similar trucks, since this is a former State of Maryland Truck. Painting the Body Black and leaving the cab Yellow isn't a bad idea. A friend of mine suggested that I should find out if the Hydraulic lines previously used for the...
