The Black Truck


So this is the Black Truck, our uber truck useful for hauling stuff to the dump, recycling centers, or for picking up building supplies at Lowes or other contractor supply places. No name has necessarily stuck to it other than 'The Black Truck' though some people grew particularly fond of the name 'Kong' after last year's movie. Essentially that's what the Black Truck is, our workhorse, our beast. He doesn't have 4-wheel drive and he gets a bit temperamental when changing gears. All in all though, he saves us a ton of time and energy. Every few years we have to rebuild the sidewalls on the bed because they get so beat up, just built a new tailgate a month ago actually. He has two diesel gas tanks, so it costs roughly $90.00 to fill him up nowadays. Perhaps the best part about Kong is that his bed has a hydraulic lift which makes him an excellent dumping truck, and though he is a little undersized compared to others, he is more than capable of meeting our needs here at Lurecrest.
