New truck to pull boat with.

Post by Rodman »

This truck has a 3116 Diesel Cat engine. Has 404 miles on it. I bought 3 of them, one has 306 miles other had 1160 miles. YES that is the correct millage for these trucks. Our Military acquired them for 56,600 per truck. I bought all three for 13,600 go figure our hard earn tax dollars at work. I started a company few months ago buying and selling Military Surplus. Its doing well...

Nice toy Rodman. I agree with Ron - you can put your F26 right in the back and forget the trailer.

I don't know how old they are but there are a couple of guys around Baltimore that buy them out of Ft. Meade,Md. I have hauled them to them from the DRMO and those things are NOTORIUS for brake failure's. So please be careful. Yours may be newer than the ones I hauled but I would still check them out real good.
