Anyone know what the truck is from "The Cave"

[Apex381]

ha I'm pretty sure that NCSU red truck is the one owned by the farmhouse fraternity. I see those bozo's cruising in it all the time. I have to admit that Duece looks pretty cool though.

Yeah deuce sounds good as far as usefulness vs. cost.

After that I'd say used dodge 3500 dually with a big trailer.

At my job, we use a good ol Kenworth, but we need it to pull +50 tons.

I like the deuce for other reasons, too. For one in Massachusetts, commercial plate go by weight, and a deuce is only 13k lbs empty. Can haul 10k lbs in the bed easy. I would paint it like a normal truck, tho, and of course have my logos on it :)

Kodiaks are nice, but I like to make money having a landscaping business. I make a killing now because I keep my overhead fairly low.

If I was in your position I would just not worry about anything after I purchased this....http://www.tyfrisch.com/az/dump/dump_trucks_index.htm

How could you not want a deuce. If I saw one of these rolling down the street, I'd definately think "wow, I need a bigass wall and a pond in my yard"

And as rambo taught us, bust through a barricade and they can get airborne.

OT, but just like in T2 when the windshield of the semi breaks after going off the overpass just to reappear after the cut, in rambo the army truck begins to lose its gas tank when it lands, just to have it securely strapped a second later.

What kind of 2500 do you have? 3600 lbs... in the bed?
Hauling around a few yards of heavy stuff would be much more suited to a heavy duty trailer.

If I were in your shoes I would have a chevy kodiak, but thats my dream truck. I actually want to go into some kind of heavy duty business just to have an excuse to buy me a kodiak.

I like the Unimogs, but I don't think it will handle heavy loads as good as a deuce. My 2500 can haul 3600 lbs, and I already have maxed that more than a few times. Figure most stone is around 2300 lbs per yard, and a yard isn't that much.
I like Unimogs a lot, but overall I think the most practical choice is going to be the deuce, but for pure offroad goodness, the mogs kick ass. Than again, my daily driver is a 2000 Wrangler 4.0 with full skids, 2" lift, 31" tires, 9k lbs winch, full body armor, waterproofed electrical system, snorkel to the top of the windshield, etc. So, one offroad toy shoulde be enough....... or not, LOL :)

Hell yea, My mum used to own a couple. She had them converted into luxury touring coaches for a company she directs. Was badass ripping through sand dunes in them.

+1 For Unimog

[Jand3rson]

Holy god that that movie lick balls...

[SchnellerVert]

Deuce and half with a standard shift or a more modern autobox. Unimog is the ultimate offroad thou. Love the suspension and the millions of PTO attachments it has.

My father has 2 Pinzgauers, both 75s I think. They are both 710M's, had the first one a year before he rolled it at around 55mph. Walked away, and bought another one. Awesome trucks, but I think I am going to end up going with a m35a2 Deuce and Half. I need something that I can put a dump ram kit on, so a Pinz would be out anyhow.

I looked up those Tatra 813s. Neat neat vehicles, complete with a 17.6 liter Diesel v12!

[NC325iC]

theres a guy at NCSU that has an old military troop carrier that he painted red and takes all his friends to the football/bball games

[lucky7]

that is very cool. how about a pinzgauer?? decent payload and towing capacity. fuel efficient air cooled 4 cyl. relatively easy to fix, as many parts can be found at local auto parts stores. im sure you would want a troop transporter model, the seats in the rear can be folded down to create a flat bed. not to mention it can haul 10 people in the back. only thing you decide is if you want 4x4, or 6x6. lol. i <3 pinzgauer's.

search for 710m and 712m. the K's are radio trucks. you dont want that i would imagine.
