Yeah, we tried that ONCE! The cost just to keep that old truck on the road made it not worth the hassle, not including the 3-5 mpg when it was running...Diamondpilot said:Around here you can get a 70's era GM or Ford dump truck for $2000 or so. They haul 7 to 8 tons and plates are $125 per year along with insurance for maybe $250 on a farm policy.

Tires alone were over $200 each, brakes for one axle cost more than an entire 1 ton trucks brakes plus took three times as long. Registration was only a little more but insurance was double.
It was fun driving a big truck but not nearly as comfortable.
