Flatbed tractor questions

All of above and some. If your gonna be general skateboarding, look at something as said already. If you like what your looking at, it’s your money, go for it.

 

Wrong tool for the job.
Regional:
1 generally you want at least a small bunk.
2 10(+) gears (8LL is for mixers and dump trucks using the LL)
3 rears that start with a 3.xx
4 200 or so gallon fuel capacity
5 wheelbase 220+
6 air ride
7 475 or better for HP

 

Compared to a normal duty class 8. This truck is also going to be heavier. Also the heavy spec'd parts are going to cost you more to repair or replace. The posting says it has 425 floaters on the front. Those will get 20k on that front axle legally.

I agree with the rest that this isn't good for regional application. If you wanted to move some heavy crap in the city. Then it would be the right tool.

 

Gonna be honest, if you're asking these kind of questions, you're not ready to be buying a truck.

 

You could slap 11R24.5 tires/rims on the front axle.........but that 4.56 rear gear is gonna kill you.

you’ll never find a flat bed that can load 48K and be under 80K gross with that truck.....think double frame....

look elsewhere .

 

that would not be a truck to buy for a guy that doesn’t know about and like working on old trucks a lot. Like a LOT.


Whats your budget?
