Hey guys, I have been casually looking for a reasonable 1 ton dump for a while...no brand preference, would use to haul hay, so ideally a flatbed dump, but also some stone, some firewood and some mulch...would just be useful to own. What I have found is that people want, at least in my area...Albany NY...an arm and a leg for a running 1 ton dump...I understand this for newer...but on a 30 or 35 year old truck? Seems nuts to me... anyway, I have found some good prices on cab and chassis with no bed...one formerly with a chip box, one formerly an ambulance...
1. Are the frames to 1 ton trucks all created equal? or is a former box truck or ambulance or flatbed or chip box goin to be less stout than another?
2. How hard is it to put a dump on a chassis?

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
