97 Plow Truck

[Radio517]

High miles on body and I assume the trans, Engine isn't too bad if it's only got 130k. Body looks to be fairly clean, has a decent plow. I want it! With that body and plow, it would be worth replacing an engine or a trans.

What do you guys think about this thing?

I think he's high on price

it has a salvage title,which means its a rebuilt total after an accident.I know that here in mass a salvage vehicle has to be fully inspected by the state police after it has been repaired to ok it to be re registered again in the state on a salvage title.I would say the truck would be worth offering 3400 or so, the average price around here for one ready to plow with is in that range for that mileage and condition

No inspections on salvage titles in iowa. And you can expect to replace that trans if it's been used for any amount of time as a plow truck

I've always been scared to buy trucks that have been used to plow with.

It would be worth rebuilding in my mind. Although it's not a uni-mount, plows are expensive, and this one is clean. They body seems to be clean and the engine should go for quite a while. Anything positive?

the truck does look solid i'd go look at it in person if your that interested.

I find if its a fleet plow truck they are beat to death because you have numerous employees driving it,but a privately owned truck is usually better taken care of not saying plowing doesnt abuse the truck but if its what a guy makes money with during the winter plus its his driver more care is gonna go into it
