    M35A2 Chip Truck

    98G, let me know when you see M929's cheap! I haul 15k in my M929A2 and it's about perfect, but going 20 miles with 4k of chips would not be very efficient. The bed is only 10'. At least a deuce has 12'.

    M35A2 Chip Truck

    Personally I think it's an excellent choice if you don't have to go on the interstate or highway that you would need to go over 50 mph. I sold one to the onion farm in NY and he uses a fleet of them very successfully. I like the 12' bed and the sides do not fold down, so are stronger than ones...
