View Full Version : Bought a new to me truck. Might have gone overboard

As most of you know I sold my f350 this week, it was a tough decision but I couldn’t bring myself to drive it in the winter and I wanted a bigger truck with 4x4.

Ended up buying a 2008 c4500 topkick 4x4

Very similar to this one, but mine has an 11’ dump box on the back.

I have wanted one for years but could never justify it, until I found a smokin deal on this one and it will serve well for my rubber business and delivering Godzilla engines.

It has under 80,000kms on it which was an added bonus

Nice choice. We had 4 at my work until a couple of years ago and they were generally reliable especially considering they were used hard with lots of weight and towing.

My jealousy level is off the charts right now. Awesome purchase, make sure you paint it all black with Road Armor bumpers!

So cool! A neighbour down the street from me has the same truck setup as a towing rig, just like Laffs described all blacked out, lift kit and RA bumpers.

Just like this, but with black rims...

Probably an IronHide clone

I guess he was going after the IronHide look, aside from the truck being a dually with a shallow box. When he brings it by the house I'll take a pic.

Idk why I thought this, but that truck looks like something the A-Team would drive.
Looks great man

Looking at converting to dually pick up box and single rear wheel. Also plan to have it tuned for fuel economy as soon as I get it hoping to achieve 28L/100km

I realized I must be compensating for something; the smallest engine between all of the vehicles my wife and I own is her 6.0 gmc one ton, then we have the 7.3L Godzilla wagon, 6.8 v10 motorhome and the 8.1L topkick ⛽️ ⛽️ ⛽️
