Yepp, Just made the deal today

2005 Chevy 3500 new

4x4

8foot dump box, Rugby from Zoresco

5 on the floor

white with gray body


$30,200 out the door

I called 30 dealers, no one really wanted to move on price, this was the best I could do. what do you think

 

[J Hisch]

That price sounds good. I take it's brand new?

 

[Jpocket]

Excellent choice. I have a question, does that tranny have a low low gear like the old chevys had?

 

[AL Inc]

Sounds like a nice truck..good luck with it. I still have nightmares about emptying leaves out of a pick-up with a pitchfork

 

[walker-talker]

I'll assume that is a standard cab? I would like to see some pics, if you have any.

 

[Eclipse]

Congrats on the new truck. I hope to be done shoveling next season

Hey thats good to hear

So it is a Rugby box just sold under a different name which is also good to hear.

You should be good for about 4000lbs with that set up so about 2 yards of 3/4 road base. You will have to see how it handles with a load you may have order some Timbrens for the rear so when you start hauling 8000lbs of gravel the azz won't be dragging on the ground

The truck should have plenty braking power I assume the new Chevys run 4wheel disk brakes like the rest of the crowd.

Probably want to up grade the tires right away to something better I don't know if Chevy is still using those LT225/75R16s which are too frigging small up grade them to LT235/85R16 something that will actually pack some weight.

Good Luck you know the first dent in the sheet metal hurts the rest of them just add character
