I've been cleaning up every possible thing I have to move with my truck. I moved 15 of these fuckers and a bunch of other concrete landscaping stuff. My shoulders hurt.

I am in negotiations to buy this new one.

Aluminum, can't rust. $100 over invoice because of where I worked (we sold them steel, even though they now use aluminum. Lol.)
But I'm holding out for more for my truck.
I think I'll get it. Have to wait for manager to come around, was off today.

Do you know how hard it is to find a single cab 8' bed truck these days? 1 out of like 50 or maybe more. Most dealers have zero.

Same with finding a half ton truck in a manual anymore.. pretty much impossible

my orchard slopes downhill and the border i had was one of those flimsy metal things. over the years, pretty much all of the mulch gradually flowed out of my orchard and into my walkways, onto the fence, etc. so i took some old lumber i had and built a better retaining border, staked it down with rebar, and then tediously raked and shoveled up the 10 wheelbarrow loads of mulch that had invaded my grass walkways.

now i can run the mower through without assaulting myself with a million bits of mulch. just a stupid little job that has needed doing for a year or so now.

i do need that stupid back seat now. stupid fucking baby car seat laws. gotta get rid of 'shitty', my dependable old truck.

it's a half ton pickup, manual transmission, extended bed. any takers?
In 20 years, when you need a single cab 8' bed again, contact my estate lawyer.

If I get the aluminum one, I guarantee it won't be rusty. But my auto body buddy predicts they will oxidize into white powder.
