A coworker of mine has an E800 cab chassis that he will sell for $500. It was given to him as a running driving box truck, he removed the box for use as a wood shed. It is a 1997 ish with a 429 truck engine. If you know anyone that might want to build a car hauler let me know.

Currently trying to get pictures from him.

Hang on...What's an E800?

I am familiar with an F800 (commercial box truck), the "E" letter usually means van based. I think a van based cutaway will max out at an E350, or maybe an E450.

What's an E800?

Think mid eighties utility bucket trucks, though some were box trucks as well

OK. I was thinking those were F-800's.

So, how long are the frame rails?

I am looking for something with long frame rails, GVRW under 26,000, and no air brakes.

Where are you located?

Commercial frame rails/ rear axle are pretty high for a ramp truck.

It is a late 1995/1996 230,000k miles. Red with white wheels. Tires are good, gas engine, juice brakes. Sound like he just wants it gone. Let me know if you want pictures or the sellers info.

You'll need to log in to post.
