Couple of good trucks on ebay now....one a fl 70 with 36" sleeper andtool box but even a better bee truck if you dont need a sleeper is a Fl 80(says fl 50 but in description a fl 80 which is correct)with mercedes diesel. It has air ride and a 9 speed tranny(both a absolutely necessary thing on bee trucks)the 9 speed gives you a top end of 80 mph but you can crawl very slow off road! With a 5 or 6 speed you are slow off road then limted to 55 mph and that will get you run over on interstate or you go thru field too fast! There is no bed so you could build one specifically for bees. Starting bid is 6k with no reserve....if you are looking for a bee truck....a great one!

Suttonbeeman,
There sure seem to be some good deals on ebay. I've spent the last month looking in the truck paper and going to truck dealers all over Utah trying to get just the right truck. I've seen some of the exact same trucks (same add and everything) on ebay as the truck paper only several thousand dollars cheaper. Thanx for the heads up. Don't know why I didn't try this before.

Gee dBest,

Rob is already going to be cutting bee boxes out at McDonald's wages and now your throwing him under the bus with that old iron.

You guys are killing me.

I would go with the freightliner 112. tag is great for getting you stuck!! A Volvo 1997-2003 with detroit diesel gets great milage....empty..10 loaded(80k) with a 22ft tag trailer 7.
