C&C equipment Nashville Indiana

[dougnash]

Hi

I have looked at a few 5 tons via private sellers and didn't really find anything I liked

Govt auctions wouldn't be for me

Anyone buy a truck from C&C or use their shop service?

From their website it looks like they have some nice trucks

Any feedback ?

Thank you

If you have deep pockets go for it. There's alot of nice trucks forsale. Just shop around. Prices flucuate as does the trucks being sold.

I bought a 816 from them a few years back. Great sevice and it was good deal for a 816. Less than 10k shipped

C&C does sell some nice trucks. I have been there several times buying parts and tires/rims. I have checked out several of their trucks each trip there.

I definitely don't have deep pockets lol

But I know from experience, for a person like me, it would be better investing more up front for a truck in good condition rather than a project

Another member posted about their new truck purchase, it was from I believe a place called Midwest Military or something like that, it had red brackets

Some other members recognized the place and right away said be careful because past experience or something

I just wanted to hear what opinions people had with C&C and see if they had the same feedback

BMY M925a2 with a soft top

My main hobby is boating, my boat has a pair Detroits, 8v71 twin turbos, but it was a project and 4 years later I am still working on it.

I don't want another project, I want something nice that I can maintain and upgrade and fix when things break.

Thank you, that was the response I was hoping for

It would be nice to buy a truck from a business that could also do some upgrades and service before the truck even gets to me

I know the whole project thing. Not enough time in the day. Have you looked at lmtvs.

Good condition is only defined by one person and that is you. My truck doesn't look pretty, leaks a little oil - if she doesn't that means shes out, Leaks a little water thru the windshield seams. Few dents, dings, scratches. BUT it is the most roadworthy, reliable, and logged the most miles as any 5 ton on SteelSoliders. You can go to cali and back anytime you wanted to. Some people may call it junk cause of the little things wrong with it or it is not a "nice truck" cause its not a mall cruiser. Most folks I deliver stuff to are more impressed to check out my truck than what I am dropping off for them. The worst thing for these trucks is that they sit and do nothing.

I love my truck even though i scream, yell at it, throw things at it, cuss and call it names but she still takes me anywhere I need to go and gets me home.

They are all projects, we all tinker. People spend what little money they make and can spare on their trucks, or the deep pocket guys have all the toys you can want. Any truck you buy it will be the little things to nickel and dime you to death to fix or to upgrade. Or big things like a hardtop. It just varies.

Trucks come along everyday. A member here was selling a very nice M818 which i thought was underpriced. Good deal for someone at the time. Then others have their's listed for $10,000 and i would give em 2 or 3k for it just cause it is a sitter, not that nice and just a normal truck, but everyone can ask their price.

Shipping one can cost ya some unless you plan on driving it. The recoveries are fun but can lead to alot of unplanned expenses.

I purchased an LDT multi fuel engine from them a few years back, as well as some parts....no complaints.

 

[diesel583]

Bought my Contact truck from him several years back. It was just like he said it was, I was pleased with the whole deal

Yes they are not really my style

I was pursuing a deuce at first, but for many reasons, its the M925a2 for me

Member 86M1028 has a M923A2 in Dallas that is pretty nice and needs a new home. He has a winch available that could be installed on it too.

Your truck sounds like my boat lol, its a 1985 so its definitely not going to win a beauty contest and with those detroits, there is ALWAYS oil and grease and soot and never seaze all over the engine room haha

If I bought it, I would run it. Weekend cruiser, runs to home depot, maybe a parade or two. I would like to get involved with some vets too, unfortunately no off-roading on Long Island

If I had a wife and kids, I wouldn't even think about a hobby like this, but um I don't ...

I looked at a few trucks in the 10k range, not impressed

Yeah it would cost about 2k-2500 to get to LI from C&C

Considering I spend $9k to haul my boat up from Florida, the above amount aint so bad lol

I just hauled a 923A2 from Springfield, MO to Albany, NY for $2500.. If I can find a decent backhaul I can get you a pretty good rate. Tolls are pricey but not a big deal.

If it all comes together, I will reach out

Thank you

I have a question about reg and insurance

I would want to register the truck as historical.

NYS requires vehicle to be over 25 years old, which I would be good with

But the weight, I read on this forum somewhere that you can't do historical on vehicles that weigh over 20k

Can someone please clarify ?
