1993 GMC Topkick Chip Truck/Chip Box & Man Cab

[lumberjack]

I bought this truck in May of 2007 and last used it in early June of 2008 when I bought a dump trailer (made it easier to load logs and I no longer had to chip my brush). It hasn't been moved since that June.
Specs:
1993 GMC Topkick 24klbGVW ~12.8klb empty.
366 Gas Engine
Allison Transmission
Arbortech Chip Box and Man Cab

I'll sell the truck, as is, for $2500, or the chip box with or without the man cab for $1500, the hoist is included. I would say at a bare minimum it'll need new batteries and an oil change before going into service.

Sounds like a steal for someone.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It sure seems like a low price.

How many miles?

 

[lumberjack]

Mileage is in the upper 100k's, 180-190 I think. I can look if it matters. I believe it started life as a moving van.

I figure it's a fair deal, but the truck has been sitting for near 3 years so it'll likely require some work to get it back in service. I've seen orange chip boxes for sale for $2500 so I figure worse case sell the bed and scrap the rest. I paid $10k and change for it off ebay.

I thought about putting the 7.3L Powerstroke and 6 speed transmission in it, but I don't want any more projects.

Damn! How much delivered? I need a whale in a bad way. Save the boom for the boom jobs.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Or at least you'll be able to properly position the chip truck in relationship with the bucket. No more dragging everything around, all the way to the back.

 

[squisher]

That too. I avoid that as much as possible, but if it is the case atleast the mini does the dragging.

What kind of tractor? You do mechanics? Parts can be high on the small tractors, but labor is higher.

 

[thattreeguy]

[stehansen]

Sounds like a great deal.

 

[rskybiz]

Small J.D but just as many bolts as a big one split it this weekend if time.

[lumberjack]

A local competitor spoke for it, supposed to pay next week and pick up next weekend.

 

[rskybiz]

Glad to know it did not go for scrap!

 

[lumberjack]
