Soon [as if not busy enough] it'll be time to exercise wallet moths IYKWIM. Ain't no trucker but have what should be advantageous in my operation; occasional OTW to haul back machine & material finds, and local for construction materials to complete the building. 20' flatbed 1979 F8000, CAT3208 non-turbo, Fuller 13, tandem differential, 4 duals, 52k GVW. It was a transit mixer, then a construction [tilt] flatbed still. Bought from local construction yard. Looks like hell but drives very nicely. Being I can't have a fleet of trucks, this and a low-boy forklift trailer should do pretty well.
I wish the 'Trick My Truck' reality program was still operating, would be a great candidate. But all those were tractor/ sleepers.

Later year, no visible differences, other than stake pockets. Even the same wheels, with mixer sized rubber. And this lists 3x more $ with higher road miles.
