🔥🔥🔥 THAT’S AN AWESOME K-WHOPPER!!! I love the 12.7 Detroit. At $60k I think you got a great deal
Thanks Todd. I’m pretty happy with it so far . Thanks for watching!
That's a fantastic looking truck! I think that's a great buy from what I've seen in the Midwest. We dont have a lot of large car trucks around here like that but i think they're sweet looking! I like your "no payment" business plan too!
Can't wait to see it in DirtBtute blue!
Yes I’m really happy with it so far . Not sure when I’ll be able to paint it . It drives wonderful ! Perfectly straight down the road no shakes or pulls. I hate payments because they take the fun out of work . This was a hard video to film . There was so many thoughts running through my head I found it hard to stay focused. Plus it was 100° with 60% humidity 🥵 Thanks for watching Neil!
U actually got a steal on that truck the best dump trucks in my opinion are found in Tennessee and further down to Texas back across to Florida
Yeah I agree. Everything here in Massachusetts is $300k or rot box . This truck has been great so far . Thanks for watching
Congrats on your business purchase. She's a beast with an unrusted skeleton that needs a some exterior botox and DirtBrute blue paint and manicuring for the salty Cape Cod air and road salt winters. She's in better hands now and she's looking forward to be preening, glamming, and starring in future content uploads. 😇
Thank you ! Yes we are going to cake the frame in paint soon then undercoat it in wool wax or fluid film for the winter . Not sure which one yet. I’m still doing some research !
*LOVE IT* ! Love HOW you present your videos to *ALWAYS* include US like we're there with you guys and PART of the goings on! The *TRUCK* - Sorry you guys wasted money & time on the first go-round but that's part of HOMEWORK! So you came home - went back & made out MUCH Better. I would have bought that & bodywork is my hobby!
Thanks ! Plot twist…I forgot to mention we went home looked into the title and bought the same truck after doing the research and talking to my insurance company. We no problems registering it. I do have a lot of body work ahead of me . Thanks for watching!
Congratulations! Going to make a great addition
Thanks !
Been waiting for this since all the insta posts , you and your son are great man keep it up
Thank you ! Had to chop it into 2 videos cuz it would have been too long . Next video is on installing the passenger seat and traveling home
Congrats 💪
Thanks Mike!
Hey man, I live in Florida and been here my whole life. What do they do with the dump trucks up north when they tip them on their sides while dumping? That’s 90 percent of our “rebuilt/salvage” titles. If the insurance company pays out on a claim that’s more than 70 percent of the vehicles value it’ll get a rebuilt title. I wouldn’t be afraid of one myself but there’s no red tape here to use one. Just pay for tag and insurance, and your in business
Yeah so turns out I forgot to mention when I went home and talked to my insurance company they said it’s not a big deal if it is a rebuilt title. Just don’t mess with a salvage title because is hasn’t had the state inspection yet . So I went back and bought it . Can’t believe I forgot to mention it 🤦♂️. Thanks for watching. Part 2 is getting put together now !
Congrats buddy! Looks like you got a great truck!
Thanks man ! Needs a few small thing and paint job sucks but so far I love it .
I deal with rebuilt titles here and there. It’s just a truck that was “totaled” and paid a claim with insurance. Could have been wrecked, rolled, water etc. If fixed correctly, can be ran with no problems. Does hurt the resale value slightly.
Yeah I looked into it when I got home and it’s not a big deal . In Florida the rebuilt trucks have to go be inspected by the state and I guess it’s a rigorous inspection. So plot twist i when back and bought it and that’s the same truck in the video. I don’t plan on selling it so I don’t care so much about resale value. But yes you are right . Thanks for watching!
CONGRATS on the new truck... nothing wrong with salvage vehicles if they are priced and repaired accordingly! always do your homework, my car is salvaged and my insurance only insures the vehicle for 60% of market value, which means if it was in an accident again, the diminished value could make it a total loss easier and I you would get a lesser amount no matter if it was in better condition than the same car with a clear title.
Thanks !! Sooo plot twist ! I went back and bought the truck after doing the research into rebuilt titles , talked with my insurance company and they said no problem . I forgot to mention that part . This is the same first truck . Thanks for watching!
Awesome video ! I'm in the same boat searching for a pre-emission triaxle. I'm in New Jersey and can't find anything without frame spread or just totally clapped out. Nice find you got there and good luck with it !
Hey, thanks for watching. If you are looking for a nice truck, I would seriously look down in Florida. There was a few nice ones here that were a little over my budget and some debt. I just didn’t like for various reasons however, they were still a lot cleaner than up north.
@@DirtBrute I'm very interested Steve, tell me where to look, thanks!
@@mikekopie9897 facebook marketplace in Florida. Is where I looked
What's the difference in the pre-emmission because I'm interesting in getting a dumpster truck alot of dump truck drivers are talking about pre -emmision?
Good choice going to Gloria to buy a dump truck,I think is the best play to go,there are alot of Spanish honest people there❤Love your truck look pretty
Thanks !
Nice ride! That DDEC IV is a smooth runner.Great find, I have been hunting around and I am in Florida Seen way older ford 9000's lol for 50K down here. I am a C-15 single turbo or 3406B,C,E kind of guy. Thanks for taking us down the road on your adventure.
Thanks for watching! My favorite engine is a C-15 but I just couldn’t find a good deal on a truck with one . So far though I’m really happy with the series 60.
oh shit didnt know you were in Mass i am too, looking to buy my first triaxle hopefully within 2 years
@@Matt-su5wp yeah I’d be looking in Florida because the trucks are by far way cleaner
@@DirtBrute my buddy has a 98 mack hes willing to float me once i start making money 300k miles, 350/8LL think im gonna do it
@@Matt-su5wp anything to get started. The longer you wait, the older you will be.👍
No, that was the seller trying to get one over on you. He was hoping you would not say anything. I have bought and sold many rebuilt, title vehicles, and I would never not make it clear to the buyer that he is looking at a rebuild or salvage title.
@@guythurman8355 he’s from Cuba and barely speaks English. I’m gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he most likely has no idea the difference I could be wrong, but I didn’t get that vibe from him. Either way I’ve had it for about a year now and it’s been great. . Thanks for watching.
Nice truck bro . I wished I could afford one a them
@@jeromewilliams3867 thanks ! Took a lot of saving and planning. Very stressful. Thanks for watching.
60k for a truck that nice is a deal here in Central VA. She gonna be sweet all painted and shined!
Thanks ! I was close to 60 . More like 65 .I talked him down from 80k and he was stuck at 72k for about 2 months of me talking to him . All said and done the whole trip and flights with registration , fuel and the seat I bought im probably at 70k. properly. I havent looked at the bank account since. I don’t want to be sick 😂
Yeah the further down south the cheaper it seems I had a buddy in chesterfield county went to Louisiana and got it a lot cheaper
congrats on your latest edition ..can have your other truck ??.....thumbs up !!
😂 other truck stays forever. Thanks for watching!
Dude you was in my neck of the woods. Lots of building going on down here
Yeah a lot of construction for sure !
Looks like a nice truck
I think your missing the radiator fan shroud. By not having it you can loose up to 50% cooling capacity for the radiator which is drastic.
Yes I’ve since bought one . It has a few things I’ve noticed that were missing. I’ve had to put in a heater core and it took me a while to find a defrost panel with the vents . I’ve never bought a truck where I’ve had to think to look and make sure it had a defrost panel.😂
Hello thanks for all the content. I’m looking to buy a used quad and I’m not sure where to start looking. Can you recommend any sites that have dump truck listing. Thanks in advance
@@HonestLivingLLC I normally use Facebook marketplace and truckpaper.com
Ok thanks.
I don’t blame you on that salvaged title. I went down to a car lot and really liked the car but when I went to sign I realized it was a salvaged and I thought ld them no and they dropped the price a few thousand and I still told them no and walked out! Don’t blame you at all. No good!!! Congratulations on the new truck looks great!!! Definitely Florida weather!!! That’s why I hate HOA. All the rules for nothing lol lol!! Place does look nice though
Yeah turns out it was a rebuilt title which I didn’t know is different and it’s easy to register. So plot twist ..I went back and bought it ! It’s the same truck 😂. But I won’t do salvage titles . Thanks for watching
Ok understand that one and that’s a little different
@@Michael-fd8ob yeah caught me off guard. Went home and researched it with me insurance company .
that's a nice k-dub bro!
Thanks I love it so far
Congratulations
Thank you !
Nice truck..damn that's a 94....i would have thought it was a lot newer than that but I like it..that fake marble does look really bad though..
😂 yeah I like stock rubber floors. The cab is a 94 but that’s about it the engine and everything else is newer style . Thanks for watching.
Hi, congratulations! What websites were you looking at to find your truck?
Facebook marketplace. Thanks for watching
Awesome looking truck, I want to ask my boss if he will sell me his Mack Truck so I can start my own business
If not but one anyways. Thanks for watching!
Ahh The Renaissance
Why do I only see triple axle dump trucks in Florida? Versus up north in Ohio they use 5 to 7 axle dump trucks.
It all goes by each individual state bridge bridge law formula per axle . Florida and Massachusetts laws are very similar.
No swing gate on box are you going to install one on it?
Do you know of a good swing door tailgate conversion kit I could purchase, that meets your quality level of not falling apart.
Would like to install one on my dump box.
I’m planning on building my own . I don’t like any of the ones I’ve seen for sale . I don’t think they are worth the money their asking for them .
I rebuilt my dump box 2 yrs. ago and I bought a 2 way kit from Warren dump bodies in plant city fl. It was around 800.00 but easy to install and works great.
@@lindajackson2550 I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the info !
😊😊😊😊😊
How much work is available for the dump truck business in FL. I'm asking an owner operator
@@benreed5656 I’m not sure . I live in Massachusetts. We just bought the truck in Florida. I can tell you I saw more dump trucks driving around in Florida the I see here on MA. The guy I bought the truck from had no work for it so the market down there must be flooded with owner operators of dump trucks
best thing you can do for that 60 series is get that waste gate off the turbo
Oh 🤔. What do you recommend for it and why ? I’m not really familiar with Detroit engines
Hurry and get back up there to Bean Town before you melt!
😂😂
Here in Mass. the RMV/State Trooper will have to do a full re inspection of the truck to ensure that it is road worthy.
No because it already had a rigorous state inspection in Florida and has a certification number and sticker on the door jam . I bought the truck in the end and had no problem registering it. Thanks for watching
@@DirtBrute Ok. That's good to hear.
@@santo8389 yeah I’m sorry . That’s my fault. I just realized I forgot to mention that in the video. I’ll put it in part 2 .
Don't you all have to do annual inspections in the northeast anymore? Here in TN you have to do a full DOT inspection before you get plates.
Do they give by the hour or the measurement of the length of the trip
And what is the name of the license
I do t understand your question?
Are you sorry you cut up the Peterbilt to make a 6 wheeler now?
No not at all . It was never a triaxle or a heavy spec truck to begin with. I also need it for small jobs . Triaxle has its purpose and the six wheeler has its own .
Do the airhorns work on the truck
Yes theyre under the hood
I heard that Florida is booming
It was when I was there !
I like the video
Now you have to fix it up better then your brothers Autocar.
😂. My brother has a tractor trailer now and I haven’t seen him even drive the autocar lately. Thanks for watching!
What town in Florida are your in laws in?
Theyre near north port
How many miles?
No clue . Motor was rebuilt 5 months ago are no record of miles
Sarasota atrport im in North Port/Venice
Yup thats where I was
You should of Looked for Trucks in California n they are selling for Dirt Cheap n I Turn down on buying a Full Semi for Only $200 n it Ran n Drove n was in great condition n the husband died n the wife couldn't pay the Storage Fees anymore n so my friend bought it n sold it , Oh n because California is out lawing Diesels
I already bought a truck from California once and it didn’t meet Massachusetts specs for heavy weight. California trucks are all late because of bridge laws there. That’s where my peterbilt came from. Florida has the same specs for trucks in mass.
I did hear there's been a ton of trucks coming out of CA bc they're new laws. Gosh imagine what would happen if CA Governor became the President. Yikes
@@In2investing Right n NO THANKS
@@In2investing oh lord help us all if that happens. They will destroy the trucking industry . That will severely disturb supply chain, causing prices of goods to go through the roof, when only a couple large trucking companies like Swift and Warner and JB Hunt, own the entire market . They can charge whatever they want.
Cali Specs are wrong for anything East of the Rockies. The build them to choak them for emissions (CARB). Rearend gears are so low (3.55, 3.26 style some even in the 2.**) you would never be able to pull an eastern mole hill.
Grand Paradisio the developement
Stop whining bro truck is dope
What came across as whining? 😂
So you said the trucks back home 150000 you paid $60000 nothing gonna be cheap enough for you
Has nothing to do with “cheap”. 5 years ago this truck that I bought would have been a 25k-30k. Anyone in the trucking business knows the used truck market went crazy and we are all over paying to get a decent truck. Clearly it was good enough for me , I bought it didn’t I ?
Sound like a mechanic not a driver
@@petepayette6690 little bit of both . Thanks for watching.
