If you don’t have the truck, can you really say your collection of Snap-on tools and equipment is truly complete?
At any rate, we came across a seller offering an all-too-familiar Snap-on truck for $15,500 in a Facebook group local to GRM headquarters.
Mileage is currently unknown, but you can see the offer for yourself here.
I hate you, now I'll not sleep all night. Coolest small car hauler ever right there.
I don't think that I'd like people trying to flag me down all the time then calling corporate
Halloween will be a cinch next year with that.

Luer? Haha!
Looks like it has the opposite lean of the Miata thread!
No thanks. I don't need to be flagged down for broken E36 M3 or when are you stopping by bs...
Plus this is what 10k buys.
That's one, yes only one, 27gal tote. I have room to spare.
I'd be worried about people trying to break in all the time. I'd rather have a truck marked "hazardous human waste disposal" or something.
TunaDad was a dealer for Mac and Snap On, and he has stories. The truck was always parked in the driveway, and I benefited greatly.

"Animal Carcass Removal."
Actually, these beefy trucks are probably a good basis for building a serious Food Truck.
I'd drive around to shops and collect weekly payments from people who assume they'll paying a new snap-on truck franchisee
(I wouldn't really, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone did)
Assuming everything works, it would be a good start for a camper conversion. Generator; two A/C units; lots of room... after a paint job.
One comment is 250K on the chassis and 80K on the engine/trans.

That's exactly what I was thinking.
I'd be very interested in it to build a camper conversion, but not at that price point.
Buddy of mine has had one for several years. Still needs a brake line and king pin replaced.
Great idea, in theory, but buying tools for fixing such beasts isn't helpful to the wallet.
I suspect those are fairly hard miles too. Heavily loaded, a lifetime of stop and go
In reply to SVreX (Forum Supporter) :
The price doesn't seem too out of line to me, but I haven't researched prices for similar trucks. If in good condition, the generator and A/C units definitely add a fair amount of value. Plus, one might be able to assume an owner/operator truck like this hasn't been as abused as a pure delivery/cargo box truck driven by hired drivers likely was. Possibly better maintained as well.
An academic discussion for me as a box truck like this is too big to fit on my property.
In reply to Ian F (Forum Supporter) :
That's true.
I meant the price point was too high for me to consider a camper conversion.
I can buy a nice complete motor home ready to roll for under $10K. It would be hard for me to justify a project like this (although everyone on this site would applaud my build thread!)
