I've got an 8 ton pintle hook and two 30 foot-long 10 ton recovery straps in the truck, as well as a third strap rated 5 tons, 20 foot long with hooks. If that don't do the job then I'll leave it for the wrecker to handle.

Geez, goes to show this guy is still young and wet behind the ears. Why would you want to pull her out? If it were me, I'd leave her stuck. One thing I loved about my 64 GMC in the day. I added a saddle tank to it eventually since all it had was the 16 gallon tank behind the seat. The valve I used was for switching tanks beside the driver seat, between the seat and door on the floor, was for a 3 tank system. So I capped one port off the swithching valve. I could be crusing down the highway, lake road, park, beach or whereever I was at, reach down and put that valve on the blocked off port and have my truck break down where I wanted it too. Oh shoot honey, we are stranded. No, not out of gas, the guage shows 3/4 of a tank. I'd be lying if I said I never used that to my advantage a couple of times. One time, it ended getting the girl to camp out in the back of the truck with me till daylight, then I could borrow a screwdriver from someone to check the fuel filter, cus it sure acted like it ran out of gas.. didn't is sweetheart??? They never did see me switch the valve between the driver seat and the driver door. C'mon Erwin, lets get creative here !!!

C'mon HotRod. We're all still a little young a little bit. I try to be a ladies man but I guess that's why I don't have one----lol. Well I was thinking about the manual winch so you could like flex yer muscles for the gal. You know? But don't want ole Bernie to bust a muscle.

I think he should put some mud grips on the back with some spinner rims (kidding about the spinner rims) but mud grips would be a +.


And then one of those flamethrowers that I saw on ManAnswers on SpikeTV, where the guy tried to rob the a guy in the car but like clicked a button and flames went out on the side and burned the robber up. IDK if it is real but they said a guy in SOUTH AFRIKA made one but it isn't legal here...but hey, that was creative .


I would say do something with the gas tank and make it larger and make a reserve tank!

Get a GPS too..

Then get some of them metal signs and have OVERSIZED LOAD. Cause that truck is...HUGE


BERNIE, BTW what's that truck for? Looks like a tornado chaser- don't mean to offend you.

I did have a great GPS in it, with a nice 5" screen, but it recently died.

The truck was originally a highway maintenance truck down in Florida, and I bought it for my construction business. I can pretty much fit my entire shop in it, between the back and the side boxes. And, it's not really huge... HotRod's box truck is probably a little bigger than this, but that all steel back does make it a bit heavy.

So far I've used it to empty my entire storage unit that I had up in Maryland when we moved down here, and it was a large storage unit, 10x15 and full to the roof. Made it all in one trip, including the trailer. I've also used it to haul 60 bags of mulch at a time, a half ton of salt in bags, 3,600 lbs of hardwood flooring (63 boxes at 58lbs each), an entire bundle of T&G OSB panels, and a ton and a half of cement.

Week after next comes the real test... 740 sq.ft. of 3/8" granite tile and 3/4 ton of mortar and grout.

No need to use the box for those, they can simply be side mounted.
