Need something to haul materials to build my house. Prefer a truck but would take a van or box. Would like a 90’s f250/350 if I had my pick, which I don’t. Needs to be able to tow. Can be non running but not looking to swap engines. Havasu preferred, open to western Arizona and so cal.

May need to take a few trips out of town to pick up materials but not basing my purchase around it. Open to anything crazy, military vehicles, semis, weird shit, idk…???!

Whatcha got?

i was just getting ready to list my super duty ford flatbed with 7.3 turbo diesel runs good but it does not get good fuel mileage especially when loaded heavy
i think the bed is 12 foot long and it has side boxes and a lumber rack
i think it’s a 1994 but will have to check
it has a BD built auto trans
we used it the last few years as an on-site service truck has a generator built in and 100gallon fuel tank with pump located in San Marcos calif but i can arrange transportation
as for price as much as i can get let’s make a deal i can get pics tomorrow

I have a 2003 Ram 3500 24V Cummins dually crew cab. It has a flat bed (with headache rack) with gooseneck and also a 5th wheel hitch. Has 280,00 mi. Automatic transmission, rebuilt 15,000ish miles ago. Paint is fading in spots. Everything works. Located in TX but I have a friend coming out next week to pick up a trailer and can haul the truck back to AZ with him. He's out of Prescott. $7500.00.

I think a nice flat bed trailer 16 ft to 24 ft would be ideal for building materials hauling…

as long as you have something to tow it with

a 20 ft shipping container is great to store tools and materials
also
an enclosed trailer works really well! Buy it, use it & Sell it a few months later…..break even !!

I’ve got a 14’ dump trailer. Not the perfect solution but it should get most of it done. Only problem is I don’t have a vehicle to tow it with. Certainly going to consider the enclosed route as well thanks for the idea!

Hey there, this is my 96F250. 7.3/4WD. 350k on the clock. Was very well taken care of by previous owner. I love it but dont have much use for it right now. Havent listed it for sale officially since I am in process of replacing beam pivot bushings on it etc. and have an e-fuel kit I am going to convert it to just to get rid of all the fuel leaks in original mechanical system. Other than that, it is a perfect tow pig-stock 4.10 gearing. Located in Long Beach.

Ok finally got some pics the truck has 550 emblems i put on the truck 10 years ago to make it look newer the truck was built before the 450 or 550 models were introduced it is a 1994 Super Duty with a 15000 GVW the generator is a 4000 watt onan and it is wired to the back of the truck and the right side bottom box the compressor does not go with the truck but the air is plumed to the rear of the truck
it has a 100 gallons diesel tank with pump and a 10 gallon gas tank that is gravity feed to a nozzle and the generator the bed is 14 feet long and has form stake holders and pipe storage holders in the center under the bed between the frame rails there are shovels racks on top of the tool boxes and broom,rake and pick racks between the cab and flatbed and the very back has a 2 inch receiver tube set up to hold the vice there are lots of little things added to make the truck efficient work platform

I wish I had seen this post a couple days ago.
My sister will be looking to sell my dads work truck. I could have got some pics and details.

Is a 92 F-250, utility bed w/side boxes and lumber rack.
Is a 351/5speed 3 pedal unit.
Waiting to hear what the mileage is and some pics now.

It’s a bit rough but runs/drives.
Pretty sure it needs a fuel pump in the aft tank?
Located in Boulder, NV
Will be cheap! Like 12-1500 bucks

Selling just about everything I own to put this project together but I just can’t seem to part ways with this thing, it’s just too useful (if I had a way to tow it).
