Bought a truck and need advice

I have an idea to build RV on trucktor chassis...

Here we need cargo truck licensie if truck weight is over 3500 kg.

 

The VIN plate or door jam sticker stating the vehicle's GVWR rating and whether it has airbrakes will determine the registration and whatever endorsements you'll need------
I'm pretty sure you're talking about a class 8 vehicle here though, so yeah, with no license you better go the long way around the coops------

My advice if you're sneakin around it's best done in the dark-----

 

Here in Florida you can register as a pick up truck, up to 26K lbs ,but you still need a CDL and you have to go thru the scales and you will be subject to everything as the other guy with a truck that he earn his living with.

If it has 201 K miles and it is in good shape, yes you've got a good deal.

 

semi-pick up... ouh! will run rought, poor weight distribution... typical bobtailing issues! so you need momething kinda ballast about 2 ton in bed... may be it is a good idea remove fifth wheel and install something like a van on it to build semi-camper.

Yeah, I understand you wanna tow big boats, and with trailer truck will run fine!

One advice! add air brakes and ABS on your trailers. it is not so expencive if you'll use used parts but safety is the first. Jack-knife accidents with pick up trucks are dangerouse! They tow trailers with primitive brake system ore w/o brakes


last year my brother's friend hauled wood in car trailer and driving down a hill he applied brake to agressivey and jack knifing with rolling over. Fortunatly speed was low, and no one was heart, car got minor damage, but... it was a hard lesson!

 

Look for posts by Freighttrain , I think he went thru the research for using a class 8 for a "toy"
If you plan to pull a specific trailer with it consider Air over hydraulic brakes, exponentially superior to electric

 

Where from NY and Where In Florida to be delivered. I wouldn't doing that drive for the right rate as long as the truck is up to DOT spec. I see you have Captain in your sig. Do you work for the airlines?
