This was my post for selling my old dump truck. Finally sold it last week.
Yay!
If you're looking for a pretty truck that's easy to drive that will impress a city girl, look elsewhere.
This isn't some lifted, glossy 4-wheeled boom box with a 4-foot bed that wouldn't pull a bicycle much less your friend's broken down Prius- This is a truck for a man with worn-down boots, callouses on his hands and sawdust in his pockets. Ugly, powerful, gets the job done, and only a quality hard-working farm girl will be impressed. This is a truck that causes the other men to pull off to the side of the road in respect, and weak men to park far away from it.
Not only is it a dually flatbed, the bed is a full 8' long, and about 7' wide. With its 350 cu.in. engine, it'll haul anything you want it to, and has a trapdoor for your 5th wheel trailer.
But there's more to it than that. This truck has a hydraulic dump bed to empty out whatever you put in it, and has stake pockets around it so you can build your own enclosure, which is what I did. I can't tell you how many loads of dirt, rock, mulch, manure, branches and other stuff I hauled with this monster. It's got a 2" receiver hitch on the back to pull whatever you need it to.
But we're not done yet. With 4 doors and bench seats, it'll hold your whole family. (It won't hold mine, though - WAAY too many kids). There are TWO gas tanks on this fella, but one of them has a leak, so I only use one. Did I mention 4WD? Yes, this baby has it, and it's amazing.
So, you're asking yourself, what's wrong with it? Why such a low price? There's nothing at all wrong with it. The huge gash on the passenger size was done by a young man who didn't see the fire hydrant on that side of the truck, but a little sledgehammer action and the doors work just fine. The dents there serve to make this treasure less appealing to truck thieves, just like the peeling paint, ripped upholstery, and rust. I never bothered to lock the doors, and I'm not sure if they ever work. The headlights are a little on the dim side, and don't quite point straight, but that's helpful for not blinding oncoming traffic and for seeing what may be on the side of the road. The power steering works when it feels like it, which is most of the time, but it likes to cut out just when you need it most. It's great for an upper body workout. Same with the 4WD - it's a bit hard to get in and out, but it'll get there with a bit of effort. Like I said - this is a manly truck. You want air conditioning? Open the windows, and this truck has those wonderful little triangle windows in the front for getting a good breeze into the cab. In fact, the lack of weather stripping around the door also lets in a good breeze, especially in the winter time, but don't worry - the heater isn't overly powerful and won't chase all the cold out of the cab.
But some of us men are getting a bit older and like a bit of convenience, so I added a back-up camera so you don't have to keep getting out to see if you're lined up with your trailer hitch.
So why am I selling it? Because I stepped up into the ultra-manly realm and bought an even larger truck and no longer need this one. As for the odometer, I have no clue how accurate that is, but it does seem to change as I drive it so it's functioning to some degree. And this is a GMC V3500 - not a Terrain, but Marketplace didn't have that option. There you have it. An amazing truck for an amazing man - the kind that are becoming rarer these days. But if you're that kind of man, this is that kind of truck, so let's make a deal.
