Good morning Connecticut! 
Thanks for the info Aaron.
I didn't get to drive it, just looked it over.
The tires looked good, with plenty of tread left and no evidence of uneven wear or cupping.
Which is good, because if I do go for it it will probably cost $2500 or so just to fit it out.
Would have preferred access to the rear, but it will be warmer with the cab separated.
This is lower than the LWB 3500 I used to have. It was parked on dirt so I didn't attempt to crawl under it.

Good morning Ray, Greg,....Andy and Rich too!
I don't really want a new work truck, but after last weeks rain and too many hours spent drying, cleaning, lubricating etc.. I'm not looking forward to winter.
My old van had lots of space. I sold it to reduce costs and pay some bills as it didn't get a lot of use.
Lost the shop anyhow.....
Biting the bullet on a van is tough.
Cabinets and sheet goods don't fit well, and this shorter one without the pass through won't allow me to carry 16' inside.
Putting a rack on a van without a ladder is pointless and makes them even more top heavy when carrying materials.
Still, it might be an alternative to renting vans to do deliveries and planning around the weather for everything else.
Got a truck full of Marvin windows yesterday, and some beautiful weather this week.
I've got to go get some supplies.
Hope everyone has a GREAT day!

Alldata is every car and truck out there on one program, from what i have been told its cost is about 2-5 K$. I have found this program that fell off a truck some where (cough,cough). I have ford trucks from 3 differnt year sections which are the most recent. I have used this program and it is pretty nice.
