That's a good price on that GMC even with hydraulic brakes. Two speed rear diff sir??

 

[Sandhill Crane]

Single speed.
If it had air brakes, I believe you would need a cdl with air brake endorsement, but it's not over 26,001 gvw so not sure.
Anyway, hydraulic brakes, no cdl required, unless you pull a trailer and cgvw is over 26,001.
It does have an air adjustable drivers seat, and new windshield last year for DOT inspection.
It's worth the money just for the engine and transmission.
Wood deck was replaced when I bought it with rough sawn oak.
Plates expired in March and I canceled insurance due to Covid 19 and cancelation of firewood sales for the year.
As stated, I've ordered a dump trailer for next year.
If it doesn't sell I may pull the dump trailer with it, and use the flatbed to deliver pallets to customers with tractors or skid steers that can unload them.
Rather not have it sit.
It has been kept up, and would love to see someone get some use out of it.

Just a couple bits of info for yourself and future buyers:
26,000GVW-Under
Air or Hydraulic brakes no cdl required. DOT physical is required.
10,000# and up-Commercial vehicle pulling a trailer a DOT physical is required.
26,001# and up CDL and DOT physical is required.
So my suggestion is to keep the company name, logo, or business off the chassis/doors of the truck. Yes it looks good and makes an image but again. 10,000# and up you have to carry a physical card.
Hope this information helps someone out and let's you keep your money in your wallet.
Thx. Tim G.

Good information!
I got fined for not being DOT registered; and additional fines for no triangles or fire extinguisher.
Did the physical, random one owner drug test, intra-state registration, and chauffeurs license.
DOT registration does not cost anything. The other stuff does in order to register.

Bump.
Really dependable medium duty truck.
Currently have it washed up and at the end of the driveway.
Put the batteries on battery tenders in the garage, as it is not being used,
and to keep sticky fingers from carrying them off.

Hi Sandhill, I have read your posts on wood splitters and saw that you may have the ability to locate quality used log splitters. I am looking for a log splitter with a 36 inch opening and log lift, wedge lift, w/4 way. I am curious if you know of any quality log splitters?

They are sort of a "bastard child" where they tend to attract DOT attention, and cost more to operate vs a Ford f450 or 550 or Dodge 4500 or 5500, so the market tends to be smaller.. at least from what I've seen.
I sold a 91 F450 this week for 5k for example.
The similar year 30 ton rated dumptruck I had, I barely got 6k out of it, and it had 3k of near new tires.

The new GM 4500 or 5500 is sure FUGLY huh. Saw one at a dealer today. The front end is hideous.
