This dump truck was a D.O.T. vehicle, so it was very well maintained mechanically.  It has the dependable 7.3L powerstroke diesel with only 104,000 miles, 5speed manual transmission, and it runs and drives great.  It was just inspected and is good until 9/2014.  It has 2 fuel tanks.  A brand new metal side tank, and a plastic rear tank.  It is very basic as far as options.  It is not equipped with A/C or cruise control, and has just an am/fm radio.  Heat works great.  It has heated side view mirrors and self leveling beacon lights on top.  It also has a engine coolant block heater.  It also has a 7 pin trailer plug and receiver.

This auction does include the Boss 8'2" Power V plow.  As you can see it was barely used.  I checked with a local Boss dealer and they are going for $4900 new with all necessary component and wiring, but doesn't include installation.  It also comes with the Monroe stainless steel salt spreader.  It is also in very good condition.  The auger is not stainless, so it has a fair amount of rust scaling, but it made of very thick heavy metal and has plenty of life on it yet.  I also called the manufacturer in Wisconsin and these are going for $4000 new, not including installation.  The dump and spreader are fully hydraulic with a hydraulic pump run by the accessory drive belt on engine, which is engaged by a switch in the cab

Everything works as it should.  Engine, clutch, transmission, and drive train all work great.  The only mechanical issue is the speedometer starts to bounce around +/- 5 mph, once it gets over 40 mph.

Physically, the pictures should give a good idea of the condition.  Overall it is in very good condition for an older work truck.  The dump bed is in remarkable condition.  Unless you just started looking, dump beds in this condition are hard to find.  Most rust is just surface rust.  It gets heavier near the back where the spreader is.  There are 4 pictures showing the only areas that are more than surface rust.  1 - There was a small spot rusted through on the driver's side floor, which was filled in with body filler for inspection.  2 - There is a hole through on the lower passenger side door. 3 - There is a small hole in the rear cross member in front of the rear fuel tank. 4- There is some rot on each side of the rearmost crossmember behind the rear fuel tank.  The bottom lip of the front bumper also has some rot on it. The interior is in good condition.  The little bit of rust is from an interior leak that was not repaired right away.  It does not leak now. 

I may have gone overboard on pictures and description, but I want anyone interested to bid with confidence.  I can assure you there will be no surprises, and you will not be disappointed when picked up if purchased.  If you have been looking for a 1 ton dump truck you will know that manual transmissions seem hard to come by, especially a 4x4 with the 7.3L diesel. So if you have just started looking and these are things important to you, don't sit back and watch, because you won't find this set up again soon.

Item is being sold as and is available for pickup only.  No shipping!  Since for some reason paypal is not available for auto sales, cash or cashiers check would be accepted.  Although I require we at least verify, if not deposit the payment at my at my local bank after you are pleased with final inspection, but  before the title is transferred. 

If this does not go as a package I will most likely keep the truck and sell the plow and salt spreader separately.  Get me your contact information before the end of the auction if you might be interested in those separately.   Please feel free to contact me with any questions or if you would like more pictures.  Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
