Nice, I could see myself using that for a parts run or to the hardware store.

Or crushing d-bags' cars who take up two parking spaces. :)

A good friend of mine, who owns an old Chevy/GMC truck website, owns a dump truck version of that.

If you suffer from Kidney Stones or another ailment that can be fixed by constant jarring, I recommend the truck highly....all at a top speed of 50 MPH.

Fun to look at.

First buy a gas station. Then become your own best customer.

I was gonna' say imagine paying for all the gas.

I'm thinking you could make it back offering rides on uber in short order!

Just like an Unimog - not fit for long distance travel. Also, too big to get into places.

I went to a MC safety class and one of the instructors had exactly this truck. It was a beast. Smoked like crazy (diesel) and needed creative shifting through all the very closely spaced gears when taking off.

I would definitely not build an RV / exploration rig on its base. Better trucks for that ...

I would love to have one of those, or a Zil, Ural, Kraz, Tatra, M939, M35, or an M934 if you want to do an RV.

^^^ There is your "tiny house"!

Holy smokes, I remembered getting a boner when those were just 50k a few years ago for a completely restored one. Now they are 200k:eek:

Why the hell is anything old and working cost so much money now. Are people tired of throw away products?

If you are so inclined, you can pick up a 5-ton "as-is" via DRMO auction for $2-$4k typically. Of course, that is just the starting point.

Some locations better then others.

I will wait for the tesla version.

If I wait long enough my F150 will be retro...

The 5 ton is pretty big for the street but the 2.5 is just big and obnoxious. :) I keep looking at deuces, really only because they are cool and my dad spent a bunch of time driving one.
