I am looking for a used bucket truck w/ dump bed, where can I look on the internet. What are the best sites and where should I shy away from. I really need help because I am not sure of what I really need to look for when buying a truck. All info is welcome.
 
Craigslist.com is a good site to check on. It's kind of like a free online newspaper classifieds, and there is a lot of stuff on there. The only down side is that you have to search by individual city, and I found a site called crazedlist.org that lets you search multiple sites at once. Check it out!

Find your states auctioneer association web site. They list up coming auctions in your area. I have been seeing more and more tree service liquidation sales lately.
 
Buyer beware.

You're most likely buying something without a warranty. Do as much research as you can. Drive it. Fly it. Check under the hood. If you're not much of a mechanic, bring someone who knows what to look for. Check these forums for other members' experiences. There are some places you'd be better off avoiding.
