its an 03 c6500 with a 25,500gvwr and high torque cat 3126. they are just simulators, if i ever find a deal on some aluminum 22.5's then i may pick them up, if not oh well. the cab/frame is in great shape the bed is pretty good for 03, no holes or anything. may weld a new sheet on the floor since its stretched in some areas. new godwin dump beds are pretty cheap around here though.
the tractor is a kioti dk90, 90hp full cab etc... we run a shoule s492 behind it. was our first year last winter with it and it cut the routes in half, absolute ridiculous difference in efficiency. check out the thread: switching to blowing service i started in the heavy equipment forum, lots of good info we discussed in there prior to purchasing this unit and a few others on here switched to blowing this year as well.

not a problem, got it for 18k with 134,500miles. we were originally looking for a 550 but everything we liked was priced 28-35k. i figured going for something like this with more payload for less money but still compact enough to work in our suburbs was a good trade off. she has a tighter turning radius than my 350 srw lwb pickup and she'll be good for plowing as well.

Nice grab, their turning radius is amazing, we have 2 4500 ambulances that beat out our e-450s
GM in there wisdom messed up those 4500-5500 trucks where great plenty of cab room higher better visability and a heavier fram than it's ford counterpart. I think if they brought the 4x4 in earlier and priced them a little cheaper they would of sold more of them . but i think the bigest thing i heard is they are too big, lacked power and braking, but for something that was a step up from a 1 ton i think they where pretty good.
yes, the turning radius is amazing on this thing, even better than my f350 srw crew cab long bed lol, thats an ocean liner.
for how much we work in suburbs this is a perfect truck for us. its an allison 3000 auto with plenty of power. it officially plated at 25,200 and weighs 13k empty.
