a couple of pictures from this summer hauling fill for around my new shop. the 550 Beast backhoe was a little too big for the truck for some reason. the box is made out of recycled scrap metal. the black paint makes it look good.

i bought the truck when i 15 years old in 1981. then in 1984 i returned with the truck to the town where it was bought new and drove it through the 100th year parade with the fellow i bought it from. now is that a trip down memory lane or what.

also a little red paint back then made the rotten wooden grain box look good. it fell apart a couple of years later.

You should have duels on the back! Nice Bolt!

the dual wheel will them make me have to get the vehicle safetied everything 6 months. just another cash grab by the government. no duals and register the truck as a 3/4 ton and no problems,lol.
