TIO, are you gonna put a engine in old truck for now, and to help with resell?

Overworked its going to the auction as-is. I really hate working on my own stuff, very difficult to get motivated. It can be someone else's project. My hours are booked til June, for me this is unheard of. It's just time to move on and get some hours billed......TIO

Now that you say KW of St. Louis i remember drooling over that truck every time i went by. The KW dealership is right down the street from Fabick Cat

TIO, I completely understand. Were not as busy, but its hard to find time and attitude to work on stuff after dealing with buisness all day, congrats and good luck. Overworked

TIO, I might be interested in your old truck, think about your price and let me.

theironoracle · Mar 8, 2014

Jpool, it will be at the Ritchie bros march 28 auction in Chehalis Washington, unless someone makes me an offer I can't refuse.....TIO

Rb is having a sale here in St. Louis the 28th also. Im assuming it will just be a cab/chassis truck or are you also buying a new bed with the new truck

theironoracle · Mar 8, 2014

1466ih, selling truck complete, crunched the numbers on buying a new chassis and swapping the bed besides not wanting to do such a project it didn't seem to make sense, besides I have been wanting a bigger body crane and compressor. So the all new truck will show up I will unload current truck into new truck and get back to work. Then I will take current truck to auction and let-r-ride....TIO

Oh how nice it would be if i hadnt screwed my credit up when i was younger. Banks dont like to talk to me so if i dont have cash in hand it is out of my price range

are you still expecting delivery of your new truck on the 21st? what are you working out of in the mean time?

theironoracle · Mar 15, 2014

Furbis, I am still working out of my current truck, if I let it warm up to almost operating temperature before I ask for the horse power the amount of blow by is tolerable. It's probably lost 20% of its power which is a hole gear on the hills around here but it gets me to the job. The stinky hot oil running down the undercarriage is a little messy though. The new truck is now scheduled for Tuesday, how often do things show up early?!....TIO

It showed up today! Time to Get r loaded and back on the road....TIO

Nice! I think Maintainer makes the best service body.

furbis · Mar 17, 2014

Nice truck I'm happy for you that it showed up early. Its always exciting to get a new truck but after a day or two of moving my junk from the old truck to the new it gets tedious.

im glad it showed up early for you!! I really like that its NOT WHITE

lol I hate a all white service trucks!!! what did you spec for a transmission? when you clean/swap out the old bed you will find things that you haven't saw in years (or at least I did when I swapped trucks last time)how bout a few more pics of it?

DirtHauler · Mar 17, 2014

Is that a brand new truck or a used one? It looks great and is a nice color. Did you get it through Rick at the lakewood KW?
