    Good point

    That's an important piece to the puzzle I'm still trying to fit in....


    I'm located in nyc not far from Elizabeth/Liden/Newark.


    Need to find some mechanics that can deal with mechanical engines.

    As of right now, I'm going to read the Google reviews and call around.

    Unless somebody knows some shops in NJ or NYC that deals with old school big cams or n14s that they can recommend.

    I would get some basic insurance quotes first before buying any truck and see what they're asking if you're an NYC resident. Also turning radius should be a consideration when looking at trucks if you're going to do a lot of NYC and long Island work.

    I already did.

    New York and New Jersey seems out of the question for now.

    The Delaware quote was much more reasonable. (Relatively speaking)


    This was one of the first things I did, since I wanted to generate a somewhat accurate cost per mile.

    Thanks for the suggestion either way.
