You might buy the parts to keep and eventually put on or sell with the truck if you ever sell it.

I can't imagine you are putting to many miles on a dump truck if you only use to haul an occassional load. How many miles can you drive if you invested the $800 in gas instead? Then you need to remember that when gas was $4.00 a gallon - diesel was $5.00 a gallon. There was a time when gas was $1.60 a gallon and diesel was still $3.00 a gallon. I seriously doubt you are going to double your mileage - 10% to 20% (in a streatch) with that old of a set up. How long will it take you get your money back?

If you were using the truck daily or putting a lot of miles on it it would probably pay for itself in a year or two - but with as a light of use as you described you'll probably (almost definately) lose money on this.
