New Truck

That is a nice truck, hope it makes you a lot of money.
 
Kevin Im going to keep my trailer together for backup. My plan is to put a crew in this ford handling the everyday housewashes.

My truck is a 04 Chevy 2500. Im giving some serious thought to downgrading to a halfton Z71 so Ill have something that gets better gas milage. Ive just got to be sure Ill be happy with the way it pulls my trailer.

Chris It might be hard to tell from that pic but that truck is a sure enough texas truck. Headache rack, brushguard and all. I bought it from a guy in Little Rock that had just moved here from San Antonio.
 
I have a '99 just like it with the 7.3 powerstroke and 310,000 miles. Still runs and drives like it was new!! I ain't really that partial to any of the big 3 (have owned Chevys, Dodges, and Fords), but the Fords are the best built for work in my opinion. I have a new model GMC that I drive when not working but have the F250 just like yours and a '95 Ford box truck and they are both workhorses!

I would not downgradde to a Half-ton when pulling a trailer. Just my opinion.
I've done both, and with the extra weight on the half ton vs. the bigger motor on the 3/4 ton, its practically the same on gas mileage.
 
Nice Chris!! We've been very happy with our truck mount system. What are you going to set up in the bed? You said 2 machines, but what kind and what else?

Good job man.

Ryan right now my thinking on that is that I wont be pulling the trailer day in and day out. It would only be if we broke down or were extremely behind. Most days the 1/2 ton would be for selling.

Good job man.

I planning on a 200 gallon water tank at the cab with chemical tanks directly behind that. At the tailgate will be 2 8pm coldwater machines. Hose reels will be on the passenger side bed rail. And Ill probably go with a 12volt roof pump. This is the plan... We'll see how it ends up.

Id like to have a soft wash systems frame to mount all of this on but I dont think its possible to buy just that. The truck already has a headache rack so Ill probably incorporate it into a ladder rack/cradle to hold the equipment.

Last step will be a wrap.
 
I bet if you asked Delux for just the rack, they'd sell just the skid. I could be wrong, but I wouldnt think theyd say no.

Sounds like its gonna be a good system. Good luck.
 
Chris,

Make sure you upgrade the springs in the back end.
