EDIT!!!! Apparently the boat only weighs 7850lb, + 1100lbs for motors, say 800lbs misc, we're at 9750lbs. So, perhaps I don't need a behemoth after all... There is a deuce and a half available locally that rear ended someone.. Runs, and drives, needs a radiator, fender, windshield, $3k.. I...

Haha! Thanks for the first hand account! Doesn't get much better than that.. Perhaps waiting for a true bobbed deuce, or maybe bobbing my own is the way to go...? I have been popping my head in and out of the auction sites, but don't think I really have the support I need to walk into one of...

So, I live fairly close to this truck... I'm thinking of having a look. You think that the number is $9k as it stands? I'd be buying it for a toy, and maybe seeing if that gimbal hitch on the back can tow a boat trailer a few miles...? What about the 'true 4x4' scenario? If it started its...

DUG, thanks for the tip! I will certainly continue down this path.. Your comment on the weight of the boat got me thinking, I just checked into the weight again, and the boat is 9637lbs all included. So, I guess I'll be alright! Furthermore, we only trailer it to and from the warehouse once a...

Thanks again for that great insight Karl. The boats trailer does have surge brakes, but I know that doesn't mean anything when compared to the placard. I am a bit sketched out thinking of hidden issues showing up- as my main intention for this truck is indeed as a beach cruiser.... Perhaps I...

Thanks for the input Karl. I could've sworn I read somewhere that gvrw was 26k, but I guess the CDL cutoff I'm thinking of. How about this ad I found...? What can I expect to pay for a truck requiring work on the tranny? I must admit this truck is attractive to me as it is close. NOTE: I...

Maybe the "crane" idea isn't the best, so I'm thinking rear winch mounted in front of bed, to pull skis up bunks/rails/etc up onto the bed to stay during travel. I've seen this before with pickup trucks in the past. As for the M35A3 - I've read that the Cat's are more $$$ to work on, and the...

Hey folks! I've been lurking around for about a week or so, and figured what the heck, let me just sign up. Everyone seems really helpful, and the wealth of knowledge here far surpasses what I can probably learn in my lifetime. Anyway, I'm hoping someone can chime in and steer me in the right...
