    Go for it driver. You have all your ducks in a row it seems, and at $4000 that's an easy gamble. My first FTL was $4k to and I ran it for a year and sold it for $4k!

    The engine block is worth $2k, the rest of the truck could get you $2k in scrap so even if it breaks down on day 3 you can get your money back.
     
    Bigrigin Thanks this.

    But its not too good to be true and here's why: Bigrigin hit the once in a lifetime right place at the right time with the right equipment combination.

    Happens vary rarely but when it does it is a good thing.

    Sounds like a great deal from what I have read. Making that kind of money and being home every night with momma and soon to be new born (Congrats-by the way)...
