    Box Truck/Toy Hauler best way to go in the track

    SOLDBox Truck/Toy Hauler best way to go in the track-box-truck1-jpg

    Didnt think i would be doing this so soon, but the time has come to sell my box truck, i dont want to sell and dont need to sell but realistically racing probably isnt in the cards this coming season. Just purchased a new home and could use the money to buy myself a skid steer to start the new dirty compound. (looking for build volunteers)

    I have slept in a tent,van,enclosed trailer and the box truck is BY FAR the best way to roll up to the track. All in one ease. you dont have to pack and unpack. Just jump in a drive to track.

    I purchased earlier this year, put personally 3k miles I only used her for 6 race weekends....1997 Ford E-350 5.4 V8 only 126K miles. truck has the mothers attic over the cab and rear barn doors, i find barn doors better then a rear roll up for a couple reasons, less chance of anything breaking, you can utilize more space towards the rear of the truck and have storage on the doors. Barn door box trucks are hard to find as well.

    it has bascially a completely new front end,tie rods, front calipers, brake pads etc. i also replaced the steering gearbox which i known to go in these box trucks/vans. Its also a pain in the ass to replace, so your welcome.

    toy hauler setup. front half camper, rear garage. I did everything myself. i opened the drivers cab to the box RV style. interior includes mini fridge, microwave, fold up down table and chairs. wardrobe/cabinets. queen size 10 inch futton mattress bed and pull out couch, easily sleeps 4 adults put an air mattress in garage and you can sleep 6. E-track thru out. electrical outlets thru out. I built the inside so i was able to have as much room needed for more bikes. You can probably fit 5 race bikes. 2 up front and 3 in the rear.

    Truck has a rear hitch and trailer elec hook up.

    $6000 firm. Truck is pimp and well worth it. the pictures will speak or themselves

    possible trades i would consider: skid steer or zero turn mower with cash on top. 250 DB or a flat track bike

    i will take pictures this weekend and post. location northern RI

    im gonna go cry myself to sleep now....

    I haven't seen this one but built my own. A box truck is the way to go and 6k is a good price with all that stuff.

    get the pics up I want to see!

    Is it sad that I had to search for images of a "tracked skid steer?"?

    Re: Box Truck/Toy Hauler best way to go in the track

    How is the electrical supplied? RV shore plug or just run an extension cord in the door?

    Roof vent at all?

    any special requirements for licensing/ reg / insurance?

    elec cord retracts out the bottom of the truck, no roof vent

    no special license, commerical reg but depending on state you could reg as RV. dont ask me which ones.
