    Looking for tandem dump truck.

    I am having to Google most of the information being thrown at this thread, but keep it up. I will have the best dump truck in MS before long with all this new found information! Might even be able to build one from scratch!

    Looking for tandem dump truck.

    Found this 1980 Peterbuilt 359 with a 8v92t motor, 8ll trans, runs well, but it wont built adequate air pressure. It's for $13k like the 1988 Mack R690. I'll be looking at both this weekend. If I have the option, which one should I shoot for given identical pricing?

    Looking for tandem dump truck.

    Thanks for the reply and help! I was looking on Facebook Marketplace, and that is where I came up with the $15k price tag. Guessing the ones below that price are junk? Mississippi is typically a place to find some well kept and low cost equipment though (in my personal experience anyway)...

    Looking for tandem dump truck.

    Hey y'all, I'm just now getting into excavation work, and I'm looking for a tandem dump truck for hauling dirt. I’m just looking for a good starter truck. I care more about the engine and a truck that is more easily repaired (more available parts, less electronics, etc.) than the age/looks...
