Stepps moves alot of stuff here in Florida. They have put some miles on them. Good classics to refurb. Id rather refurb than run the junks today that are new

@jrzyboy76 24 күн бұрын

Yes, I used to see them all over the Tampa area.

@chrisrussell8903 Ай бұрын

Every time you unload something from that trailer, I'm yelling "Just put a 2×6 in front of the wheels to lift it up enough to not rub." 😄 Pretty cool rigs.👍

@quantariusbrown2275 Ай бұрын

With a engine refresh those would be great additions to the towing fleet

Probably one of the easiest "Will They Start?" ever👍 Glad you had the keys for those 2 brutes😜

Both those trucks have lots of potential. Too good to part out.IMHO. Just a matter of money.

I would do an in frame on both trucks and put them to work. Especially the second one with the double frame. It would be a heavy haul truck.

That axle spacing is called a Canadian Spread and it allows more weight in Canada. Maybe they were originally Canadian Trucks. Bill

Stepp's Towing is notorious for taking good care of there equipment that being said i would invest in getting these up to snuff and selling as a whole truck.

@@mindedchaos you’re kidding right?

@glenalguire6960 27 күн бұрын

As long as you don’t rev it up too high immediately after start up , but it’s actually better for the engine because it gets the oil pressure up and delivers it to all the vital parts , that’s why the engine manufactures recommend as little idle time as possible , when idling at 800 plus rpm’s it supplies the engine with good oil pressure

@panman185 Ай бұрын

I would keep them and freshen them up. If you wanted to sell them, give Tim a call. The heavy hauling he is getting into would be a nice addition.

I know what you're thinking. Bruce you're gonna be getting another summer truck or whatever. Keep one of them. Cause I'm gonna erase it out. Look, and I know that. Look for Everybody. I get that walk through my eyes sometimes. Twoo and best thing to do is just keep one truck. It wouldn't attract park the road part. The other truck can keep one cause. I know you said in the past. You wanna have an old 379?But I don't remember if you wanted a lawn hood or a short hood

Can you feel the floor vibrate when you move the overhead Crain? I used to haul coils and you would feel the floor, but the Crain was bigger because the coils would weigh 15,000-30,000. The other building had coils weighing as much as 50,000
