Our '84 k35 dump truck has just about had it, rust has gotten the better of it (frame). It still works but I don't think its road worthy with a full load on it, makes a good woods truck.
I'm looking for something more in the medium duty line. It has to be under CDL (26K lbs??). I'm thinking around the 20K lbs GVWR. Short wheel base, CA84ish. I'm not looking to spend a fortune, so something like from the 70's or 80's. I'm not to familiar with the models names or numbers of the 20K lbs trucks. Mechanical trouble, welding etc. I can take care of
myself.
The primary use with be to trailer my TN70DA around locally. Move material gravel, topsoil, etc. locally. Anything more than local I can have delivered by tandem truck. Needs to be low geared. Gas or diesel doesn't matter. This is for part-time work. My main concern is something phisically small, turns sharp, and can carry a good load.
Any thoughs on what is good?
Thanks.
