Check out this workhorse

I found this truck on a little trip that my wife and I took today. I saw the truck a month or two ago and didn't have a camera, but today I did. The for sale sign said it is a 71 3/4 ton. It said it had been a sprayer truck in the area since 1979. I thought somebody might enjoy seeing a real horse other than myself.

Re: Check out this workhorse

That was listed on ebay sometime last year. If I recall correctly the 2nd axle is just a dummy tag axle.

Re: Check out this workhorse

I didn't crawl around under it to check out the rear end setup but it had a heck of a bunch of leaf springs. A little pricey to, I suppose because of the sprayer unit.
