Hank I worked at a used commercial truck dealer and a snow equipment manufacturer. In my opinion I would keep looking for a truck that had better maintenance. Changing hinges on a dump bed requires the bed taken clear off the chassis to cut out the old parts. Not a job without overhead crane. Also bed floor and suspension could be wore out.

“I don’t know where they’re taking it to...” - The scrapyard, if he’s smart! Dang - if you gotta use ether AND jump it ... I’d run away screaming. I liked that big red one way better. Brakes and some welding and she’s a runner!

Hank I have an International s1654 with a flatbed dump, it has steel sides that set on and off. Makes a perfect truck for both hauling hay and moving dirt. I recently purchased a 1992 International 4900 with a DT466 to move equipment with that is a great truck and engine combo, it was around $10000 and excellent shape. We drove it 6 hours home 🤣. I have several videos of them, might give you an idea of what to look for. Single axle International’s are the way to go! Enjoyed the video!

I had a dump truck and sold it this year. If CDL isn't needed, go bigger/ as big as you can load with your loader. Sitting kills all old trucks so make sure you'll use it or it will always be needing something.

I would look for a small town getting rid of equipment or a contractor that bought something newer and needs to sell.

Thanks for letting us tag along bro, I guess in one way you know what is available for the money. Something like that second one is a good handy size for a smallish jobs. Matt at diesel creek has one and gets quite a bit done with it. Safe travels

If you decide on that one you might want to lift the bed and look at the Z-bar lift assembly completely. The pins for the life cylinder might be sloppy also. Just my thoughts Hank. Lots of work to do on the F800. Tires, metal in bed, exhaust leaks and being a gas burner. On the other hand, both will make for great videos.

Go 4 the red one close to home it fires up needs some Tlc. 🤙👍

a wonderful channel! I am happy to find it. I am always interested in old machinery. I got this from my dad as he owned a salvage yard and by the time he retired, he had acres of junk. Old buses, cars, trucks. As Steve Cross once said, "if you have a pile of junk around, in a few years you might could find something beautiful being created in this pile"! Or, something like that. Thus your channel brings me back to my childhood. Too, I watch this channel, out of many other possible old machinery channels because of your character and personality! I like the way your people laugh and cut the fool. I live in Tallahassee, not too far away. i have no car now, 80 years old, but I can still dream.

That's an unusually short wheelbase for a truck of that size. Was it a single axle tractor truck in a previous life? The advantage is the turning circle how many cubic yards can it hold?

*Insides, in really good shape* _Would hate to see what really bad shape looks like!_ I know nothing about dump trucks, but that inside looks like my old 1983 Datsun in 2013!

Watching from Cuthbert Ga. hunt camp, good luck you'll should be passing thru on SR 82 or 27

Great video!!!…..Mr. Hank have you considered a used roofing dump trailer?There are goosenecks and bumper pull…….just a suggestion.

Hank, I enjoyed the video and I think you are making the right decision on not buying the white one. I liked the big red one. Good idea to continue looking.

Say that 3 times fast. I think the larger one is the better choice. If you decide you no longer need it the larger one would be easier to sell, my opinion. The small one kinda looks like an oddball size dump box

Hank it might be bigger than what you want but you can haul little loads with a big truck but not a big load with a little one, and the red one is in much better shape than the white one.

Hank, don't be in too big of a hurry. Keep researching and have patience. Your truck is out there. Happy hunting...

Have totally rule out a dump trailer. They are a bit hard to locate at present and used are almost the cost of new.

U can get them 4×8 sheets of metal to fix the bed in the white one me and my dad had to do a old dump truck fix the bed in it all u have to do is put it on top of the old one and weld it

I literally just sold my dump truck!! LOL Good luck on your search!

I learned how to drive in a ford L8000! So many memories with my Dad and uncle and long days on harvest in a truck just like that

Idk I was behind one today and it was moving pretty good, classic smell of diesel reminded me of grandfather's Autocar from the seventys

That Red Ford F8000 was a pretty nice truck needs a bit 👍that white Ford F800 was a see through truck, are all the trucks in Georgia the same as that, 🤣🤣you get a load of stone and 50%will be on the road brow it's finished loading 🤣 🤣

Hi hank something to consider if your going to load the truck with your tractor pay attention how tall the sides of the truck is as you what to dump your bucket in the middle of the truck box just something to thing about God bless

Hank, first thing off, I do NOT want to offend you in any manor. I am looking at this rig from far away eyes. Does it have a two speed as it seems like he was moving it around in high range which will not show its abilities best. I like the wheelbase as it will be a short turning radius and thats very good, the bottom of the bed was not rusted out or hammered out. As for the dump being slow, that is a easy adjustment thing. I could tell it was gas and ran so so because a tune up hasn't been seen in a while. Some exhaust gaskets are needed and to tell the truth, no one likes working on exhaust but truthfully would go fairly good and not real expensive. Detailing the interior would be good and you have saved money cause he just wants off of it. Krylon makes it look just as good as the other kids trucks. I could see it has heavy springs, axles, and the frame doesn't look like its jacking from rust. I wasn't certain but it sounds like it has air on it so brakes are way cheaper to fix on this. I don't like those dayton wheels tho an most have that in that size truck. I get the air idea from the fact it looked like it had glad hands on it to pull trailers and have easy good brakes for that. A grease job would improve things also. The cab corners on it are not rusted out but the hood looked like the worst part of this rig. I'm sure that what ever he asked for it he would take half of unless its already around thirty five hundred dollars an that would be dirt cheap for it. I would call Wes and give him the info on this rig and he could tell you more from where he is at than you know standing there. It has low bed sides so easy to load five yard box on it. Eight to nine yard was on the double axle truck. Thats the perfect size box for a smaller truck. In these times, it probably is a good deal an it will sell quick.

My first Dump Truck license used for Sandblasting Job Hank was old 1968 6 ton Ford LT 8500 had daul axles of 390 ratio with 350 Cummings also Eaton 9 speed transmission and long box bed plus 2 big circles tank 350 gallons and truck orgnailly used on CANADA National and Canada Pacfic Railroad before boss had back then bought in 1980's made farm truck or his Sandblasting business haul equipment included! Also if buying Dump Truck don't try get Ford type Hank be hard get parts for but if find International or Mack or other companies buy from them and check see if get parts easy or not worth it !

Go with the red one

I could use that, send it up to TN

Thanks for making us a part of the journey :)

They mighty proud of Dumptruck where you are shopping. I bought a 1 ton for under $3000. A running and driving F600 can be had for less than that... I went smaller to keep my expenses down.

That's just what you need buddy good to see you again good luck hank

The second ford 800 would make a sweet rig with some TLC

Go with the red one. The white one is ready for the scrap yard!

I would keep looking. Got to be more than 2 dumps available within 4 hours drive.?

I liked the smaller one. If only it was in better shape. Good luck on your truck huntin' Hank! 😎 Don't forget to take us along...lol!

You should have bought Paradox's Ford dump. Remember the feller with the 50's Dodge 1ton he was restoring.

the red one though it is bigger than what you were wanting i think is the better truck it seems more mechanically sound

I would look at them 90s international with the dt466 motor my dad drove one for a local mulch company i think the bed itself was a oxbody bed and hit could haul 27,000 lbs or 10 tons with a 6 speed manual i believe. If my memory serves me right it was a single axle

Get the red tandem yes it's a little bigger then what you need but that way you have all the power you need and additional capacity if required ever

That white one looks like a airport tug😂

The answer is Always Yes to buying new equipment! Keep up the good work Hank👍

as someone who owns and operates dump trucks, you dodged 2 bullets there! I started with a 1974 Chevy c60. 366 tall deck engine, 4 speed +2 truck ran and hauled 10 tons great! keeping brakes on it was a nightmare. vacuum brakes... had a booster. then I upgraded to what I thought was a deal, ford l8000. severely underpowered. L10 cummins.

Both trucks need taken to the scrap yard. Hopefully you found something better. Ford Louisville trucks are known in NZ as loosely built trucks. Absolute buckets of bolts. We had the Louisville L9000 doors where trying to fall off driving down the road!

.... grab the red one ...good price, easy fix and a good flip... the white one was a dud ...

Yes, you buy it!😁🤟

As always Hank very interesting, the dump trucks looked around the 1950's in age would I be right.?

Little 10 to 12 ton coal bucket is it a v8 or a 6 diesel or gas scissor bed or direct line dump

Hank, don't worry about what you put in your videos. Just show life the way it is. We get to see our own BS reflected back at us and finally have a good laugh or commiserate with you. It takes me too long to buy something sometimes and when it's gone is about the time I go to get it. 😒 You don't need to feel rushed on our account. I'm still wishing it was still June so this comes at a good time.

Go Hank!

I’d definitely be looking for a diesel, the red one could be made nice but I’ve started to learn that my time is sometimes worth quite a bit and finding one that is in better shape may be worth the time savings of repairing the red one.

The diet Mountain Dew offsets the danish.

Well Ford. found on road dead. is the saying

Hey !! -- lots more trucks out there !!

I really love the old Ford dump trucks and roadtractors they built back In the day if I had the money I'd save them all

Id personally go with the big red myself but either way them dayton rims would have to go lol

Personal opinion, started it on ether before you arrived, didn't know how to operate it compared to told you the issues straight up and it started on the turn of the key. Don't know how much each is asking but I think I'd be giving the second one a big fat miss!

I would look for a diesel and make sure you check under the bed well. Oh and Eufala! You were in my neck of the woods. Love the content! Keep it coming

have you thought about places that rent heavy equipment?..when they buy newer stuff they sell off the older stuff...might be worth a look.

Good decision. Mine is a 1999 International with DT466. Good engine. Not super strong but I pull my 19200 excavator with it. Might look for one of those. Enjoyed the video!

I agree, an 8 yard single axle would be perfect. Everyone needs access to one that size.

Love that little stumpy dumper. Kinda got Unimog proportions.

Chassis looks a bit crusty... but trust me if you swap a Cummins l10 into this with a 9 or 10 speed behind it... runs like a dream brother

If that the size you need look at a one ton truck with a dump bed on it would be better I think

Those trucks looked more like candidates for a “Will it start ?” Video 😱😂😂

Damn thaz a little ass dump semi compared to all the other dump semis I see out on the roads.

I was thinking the red one would hold a good amount after you ripped the tailgate out and half the sides but the gas job would just turn over to dump. Glad it's you. Listen to Gina and GBWYall!

Man , now that white Ford is the perfect truck , a real cream puff , a true country bumpkin Cadillac that's the one you need , it will go perfect with the one way john deere backhoe.

Why not a one ton style dump if you want to stay small and not sure on your area but the boxs hold there value in my area

Thank you Hank for sharing that.

I thought about getting a dump truck. Cost, Insurance, tag, battery, fuel, maintains. I got a dump trailer, It filled my needs. and it worked for me 💛

You should have bought the white dump truck. We could have driven that bad boy right up to the Guesthouse at Graceland 👍🏼⚡️

I would bye it it looks pretty decent you could use it to pull start some other will it start trucks

Theres one out there Hank. I'm sure you'll find one, especially with the size of your audience on KZfaq, you'll probably get some help locating one. Good luck buddy.

Wise decision Hank it did look like it needed a fair bit of work doing to it

You need one of those old international loadstar 1600 dump trucks.

😎🥤🤨🙄😮😉👍🚍🚜 Hank the red truck looked good I'm from Georgia myself that white truck 🚚 I see your point. Good luck.

Gina's Li'l Ladybug could prolly dump over the side of a GN trailer. And you could haul it in a GN trailer. Those big trucks: Not so much.

If it was me the red Ford is the one but it's in a lot better condition than the four hour drive one

Looks like you need a 5 yard dump truck. As an aside, I know little about Ford trucks of the 80s, but those built in Louisville are known as being pretty stout. (Models beginning with L). An 8 or 10 yard would probably have tandem axles. Models with the four digit model are diesel, three digit are gas. CL would be cab over, L conventional, and LN (I think) would be "short conventional". If I were buying a used one, I would surely look for a diesel, as the gassers will probably have been run hard and put away wet. Ford also had a 534 CID gas engine, with lots of torque, and a fabulous appetite.

Go HankGo!!!

I always look for signs. There was a reason why your friend sold his gooseneck. Maybe it wasnt meant to be that this was the truck for you at this time. I believe.

Go with the red one, no such thing as too big

I live in Eufaula Oklahoma! I have been to Eufaula Alabama. Now that you have been to one you should visit the other one. Lol

You better take Wiley with you. I think he knows alot.

Good job and waiting for the best 0ne God bless yall 🙏

Hank keep on looking

That second one needed way too much to even get it road ready. And it takes a week to let the bed down on it

I like it. When your done bring it over to Washington State

Love this video buddy and hope you are having a good day ❤

Try Purple Wave auctions.

Well Good luck my friend

You should get the red one… More is always better

I'm glad you didn't buy either one of those. Have you considered a trailer. They have some really nice dump trailers out there for you to choose from that you can pull behind your pick-up. No truck tag (they ain't cheap) or extra insurance. Just sayin

I sugest the red one

Yes

Don't worry about it I'll just find the one you want and buy it

inside of cab does not appear to be maintained.

In my opinion the white truck has been ducking the crusher for a long time the red truck needs a lot less work however it's your choice to make

I believe I would run from that problem waiting to occur. Looks like it might be a money pit.
