International 4700 Dump...Good Buy or Not?

[2dogs]

Used trucks are dirt cheap right now in Collyfornia because of the new smog laws. Make sure anything you look at can be registered for 5 years or so. My FIL's 2004 Peterbilt with a 550 Cat can't be operated in Collyfornia (without $20K plus in modificatiions) after 2014 because of the smog tiers. Every trucker knows this and he can't sell his truck.

That's rediculous. How can they make you have to do that to your vehicle. It should be grandfathered in. Glad I don't live there

We have a 99 International chipper truck with the 466det engine with manual tranny. It has been very good so far for the 7 months we have had it. It has plenty of power and not sluggish. We have a 14ft chipper box and pulling a vermeer 1500 chipper

Haha. I wonder what all those wise, environmental politicians are going to say when the trucking companies finally say "screw it, the folk's in California will just have to pick up all their goods at the border".
