I sure hope it's gonna earn its keep, that's what I bought it for. Put another way, we (sis and I) went looking for a dump truck to use, this one came up for sale locally, and it's got pretty good bones...and if you're a piece of machinery, you don't get to be that old without doing SOMETHING right. So.... yes. It's going to work. If or when I find the time, it'll get made to look good while working.
Ya know, I'm gonna have to have TWO 2-tons

So that when I get to the point of doing this one up right, I have something to slide the dump bed off onto and keep using it!
