I'm still stumping for a cheap 1-ton just to haul a trailer / hay for my farm use.. not a daily driver.
have come across a 92 chevy 3500 96k miles, 6.5td standard cab that I can probably snag for 3500$ has been well cared for sat a couple years after 'grampa' died.. inheritor/ new owner has driven it for about a year and wants to get rid of it for something cheaper / easier to drive.
I'm not thrilled about gm.. or the standard cab.. but.. heck.. it's not a daily driver.. and would be cheap enough.
other one I found down the road is a 90 350 with the 7.3d has a topper I'll need to set off. also good condition.. odom's flipped so it's got either a lil over 100K or a lil over 200K.. truck looks more like 100k.. etc. has crew cab pretty sure 5500$ will sell her.
both have auto trans, air / radio.. etc., etc.
I'm more preferable to ford.. though it is older.. etc.
I assume neither of these trucks will be setup with the nice adapter plug for e-brakes.
f350 has a 4 wire trailer plug int he back meaning I'd need to run the ebrake power, plus a fused power line for a 6 or 7 pin plug.. I think same setup on the chevy.
Question onthe brake line sense wire .. on the brake switch.. I remember reading that some vehicles have an odd setup that you have to be carefull about.
anyone up to date on that? I've never had to tap a brake switch.. have always been lucky and had an option plug on my 98+ trucks.
just wanting to know what I'm getting into either way, or if I should be looking out for a problem on the wireing.
any comments?
