    New to me one ton

    Recently I drove up to Chicago and picked up this Chevy 3500HD dump. 1994, 112,000 miles, 454, solid body and I basically stole it from the guy. Just a reall nice one ton that will definately make me some money. Being a smaller business, it will really make an impact. Since then I have done a few little things to it, the biggest being the new wrap. Just wanted to share that a wrap really changes the look of an old truck. It is worth the money fellas, look in to it.truck 001.jpg

    The guy was asking $4500, I paid $3750. Blue books for around $5500. I could not find anything around STL for even close to that price in nice shape. Truck runs really well and shifts awesome. All in all it is a great truck and hopefully will last me 2 or 3 years before I buy something newer. I went to test drive it and jumped in and brake torqued it and the guy was like what the hell are you doing? I wanted to make sure the motor was strong but the look on his face was priceless.

    It's a 454, even if it wasn't running right, it's still spin the rears with the brakes on lol. What'd you pay for the wrap?

    It's an old aspy puddle jumper (97) refitted with all terrain tires. It was white washed by some by some hacks (not worthy of mention here) and resold to me.

    Short as #### though, thats for sure. love the truck and boom.

    Besides owning my tree company, I am a 33.3% owner of a large format digital printing company by the name of Vinyl Images, llc. We specialize in large format digital printing, especially vehicle wraps. I started the business with my brother and sister when I was 19, 10 years ago. We started with absolutely nothing, less than nothing as a matter of fact and now we are one of the biggest and best vehicle wrap companies in the mid west. I'll do in the neighborhood of 275 full wraps this year, hopefully more if some of these larger companies pull the trigger on some projects. Needless to say it did not cost me anything. I have been taking the last 5-10' off of the rolls we print on for some time and using them for myself and my wraps. It would just be thrown away any how so I just use it for my own projects.

    Any of you guys have any questions about graphics or wraps or anything else that has to do with advertising or large format digital printing, I'd be happy to help.
