My new whip

I was hauling a honda civic on my old car hauler trailer, and I folded an axle right in half . Pa rust got it, right between the u bolts . I had it for 25 years and it has served me well. I started to shop for a heavier duty construction trailer, and for not that much more money, figured I could just get a big roll back .
I have been wanting one of these for a long time .
I had a pretty nice newer sierra half ton, and after about a year of ownership, found it basically useless for my needs . I sold it while the market was hot, and started looking .
This one popped up about 25 miles north of me . East Brady, for anybody local who might know the area
It has been off the road for 8 years . It was sitting on top of a small mountain in a field. 2 new batteries, a starter and it fired right off like it was brand new, only 92k miles . Zero, I mean zero rust .
I will spend the next 6 months fixing up everything and pimping it out a little bit, then I am going to start a little side hustle to fill the void left by getting out of the rental house business
I snuck it home Monday night under the cover of darkness, and spent the last few evenings cleaning it up a little bit
My end game is to get a CDL, and a tandem roll back truck . I figure moving trucks and equipment around would be a good partial retirement gig instead of working at Lowes or delivering auto parts .
I am almost as excited as the day I got my first 911

Nice. I hope the missus is doing much, much better.

Nice score, Fred....congrats, buddy.

I think you have something that will be a decent money maker for you there!

Nice!

How was it there is no rust? Not being driven on the road for eight years?

Score! Nice rig Fred!!

Nice! Congrats.

Did the previous owner just drive it on sunny days on clear, dry roads? Must have been a cover over it sitting in the field, looks shiny, dig the horns.

Show us some photos of underneath. I would be interested in how some of the rubber stuff looks

Nice truck Fred. What does it have under the hood? Auto or standard?

I love the truck Fred.

And good game plan moving vehicles and equipment around.

You be BIG pimpin now son!

I don't NEED one, I WANT one!

Well done.

I think my kayak would fit on that!!

badass. If I won the lotto, that would be my first purchase. so I can use it to go and get all the other purchases.

It needs a big logo for the doors. Fast Fred vehicle moving or something.

Cool toy.

That's a cool rig!

Oh man that is cool!!!!

Gotta be many ways to make a buck with it.

somebody send our friend a "GAS, GRASS or ASS..." bumper sticker. :)

Im still trying to find those naked lady chrome mud flaps, but I would totally fly that sticker

Nice ride! I had a friend years ago who had a towing company and pretty much drove a rig like that as his daily driver. His wife was quite a lush and we'd regularly see her Expedition on the back of his rig when he had to go get her :D

Sweet ride. Congratulations!
