[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1630031, member: 32659"] Gee wiz I missed out on all this. The truck I sold last year was a 1 ton dually 4x4 flatbed. It had an aux diesel tank, gas compressor, montezuma toolbox, and enough “stuff” behind the seat to get me out of most any bind. I had the welder and torch rig mounted on it for years but rigged up a trailer and moved the welder to the trailer. Welder was on a skid so a few bolts and I could set it back on the truck. Heat and air worked great for all the “waiting” that goes on in a work/ranch truck. It was my office too. We had a lease place at the time so moved allot of hay, equipment, and cattle around. We also spent about 1,500 hours on a dozer and skid steer clearing the place I have now so it needed to do the daily maintenance on that stuff. Built probably 20,000’ of fence and a set of corrals so it had to move that junk around too. Had that rig for 11 years and it was great. Oh yea it had a big front bumper so I could knock a post down going forward or backwards. This truck had various sorts of tires on it, from mud to street or whatever was cheapest at the time. Don’t really need a rig like that anymore so sold it. Current work truck has a Deweze arm bed and feeder on it with a Ranch Hand bumper on the front and a bag of tools behind the seat. Since we built the barn I keep the compressor, toolbox, welder, and fuel tank there and just use the bed to load them up as needed. It’s still an office of sorts, dirty as heck, and keeps me warm or cool. Back in January I was checking heifers and had an old wooden fence post get hung up under it, the mud is still on the steering wheel and seat from that deal. I think I’ve washed it twice to get the windows clean. I think what you call a work truck changes with your needs. Shoot my wife won’t buy a new car and calls the old beater she drives her work car. It has a dent in door and it doesn’t bother her a bit to let her employees take it when she needs supplies. We pretty much share the new dually for going on longer trips or to see the Grandkids.
