Golfgar,
I have a dump truck I've been real happy to have. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif It's an old municipal truck I bought as part of a package from an area county's highway department. It's a 1990 Ford F-Super Duty with a 460 V-8 and automatic transmission. Today the same truck would be labeled as a Ford F-450 as it is a full class 4 truck.
Mine has an 8' Peabody Gallion contractor's bed with full cab protection and a hydraulic hoist. It also has an 8' Western power angle snow plow and full hydraulics for a salt spreader or whatever you'd like to hook up in the rear. There's also a two way pintle hitch on the rear which has a 2 5/16" ball. I put some wood sides on it and can still load it from the side with my FEL.
I recently knocked the rust off the bed and replaced some metal there and gave it a fresh coat of that lovely municipal orange paint. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif I'm probably going to do the cab this fall. I'm not looking to make it fancy. I just want it to last because it's been a great old truck for me to have around my property. I'm not sure it's one you really want to see a picture of, though. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
