I'm not much of a thread starter but i want to know what the work trucks of arfcommers look like. Post a pic of your work truck if you like or you can just give the year and model of your work truck.
This is what i use for my work truck and it is also my first vehicle that i got when i was 16 and it has been in my family since 84. It has been through several bad wrecks but it looks alright after all these years. It's a 1984 F150 with a 302, the only thing i don't like is that it's not four wheel drive.

I just added the shell last week, so no pics as of it yet. But here's the grill guard: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/jbombelli/IMG00030.jpg Nice ride....what type of fuel economy do you get? |
I do field service work, and put 40-50,000 miles a year on a company vehicle. I used to drive a 96 GMC 1500 extended cab pickup (5.7l Vortec), but the office got tired of fixing things on it & retired it at just over 345,000 miles. Now I've got a 2002 Dodge Caravan (2.4l I4). Damn I miss that truck...

Damn I miss that truck... damn, that sucks having to go to a minivan It sucks every time I have to get up to speed to get on the Interstate.  The only saving grace is the improved fuel economy helps a little on the P&L's. But damn, I do miss the truck...
Unrelated - here's my Truck (it used to be a daily driver...)

2000 Z71 almost have 200,000 on it. http://i639.photobucket.com/albums/uu116/KansanShooter/100_5873.jpg What's the difference between the "Z71" packages and the "4X4"package? |

I only get 17 MPG though, balanced between city & highway driving. I'll post a pic in a few days when I get a computer that doesn't suck. |

The picture pretty much says it all. 2006 E250 cargo van, ladder racks with ladders on them, tool and storage bins in the back with tools and parts in them. Vinyl seats and flooring. They aren't pretty, you can't go rock crawling in them, but when you need to run some cable they sure seem pretty cool.

That trailer looks odd, what are the big tall white things on the front and side?  
ETA: So where are ya today? I'm sitting at the TA, I20 exit 503. |

I'm guessing you work for Carlisle or a company shown on Ice Road Truckers. |
