Build Your Own Winch Truck — Kenworth C500 Platforms, Twin-Steer — Fort St. John

The cheapest way into a proper Peace-country winch truck is not a dealer's finished unit — it is a heavy platform and your own build. Offered direct: Kenworth C500 bed truck platforms, 2000–2007, twin-steer / tandem drive, near Edmonton, at $50,000–$70,000 OBO each. Eleven platforms in the group, sold as platforms only.

The conversion is the pitch. Put a bed and a planetary winch on this frame and you have the truck that moves rigs, skids tanks and works lease roads from Fort St. John to the Horn River. The same platform takes a water tank for lease and dust work, or a gravel box for road crews — one chassis, whichever business you are in.

Price the finished article first: fully rigged C500 bed and winch trucks at dealers ask $129,900–$189,900. These platforms are not rigged trucks and are not priced as rigged trucks — buy the foundation at platform money and spend the build budget in your own shop, on your own spec.

Companion iron from the same seller: a matched fleet of 28 TC406 tridem tankers, $15,000 each, $13,000 each on two or more. Call/Text/WhatsApp 825-865-3094
