I need to buy a used box truck for benchmarking purposes at work. I know where to shop for cars and have found several sites for commercial trucks. I'm wondering if I'm missing any. Where is the best place to shop for a commercial box truck?
Specifically, I'm looking for something like a short wheelbase Izuzu NPR. Thanks!
Keyword "Isuzu" into FB brings quick results.
Newer stuff try:
If you want something less rusty, then travel south, but... Shipping on a heavy wide truck wont fit on most car hauler trailers so just know that shipping will be more expensive. You might have to fly in and drive it back.
Commercialtrucktrader.com and truckpaper.com are a couple I have used in the past
The trader websites net a lot of results... for a lot of money.
I just watch FB and CL
Slight aside, but after looking at 3 dozen box trucks for work that were all used up 250k mile turds we bought a brand new F650 with the V10 gas. Its absolutely perfect for what we do which is short trips and we need volume not weight capacity. Its also got a fork lift rated floor, runs on 22.5s, and is dock height, which is a tough nut to crack on a smaller truck. It was worth every penny we paid.

You do want to get as much truck as you can. Buying something that needs work is rarely a winning solution in the weight class you are looking at. Everything is heavier, bulkier, and a little harder to get at.. so the labor costs grow quite a bit, unless you enjoy bench pressing a 400 pound transmission
We're basically looking for the chassis. It needs to be non rusty and not in too bad condition.
