    Or one like it? I've been looking for a 9800 Eagle for ~5 yrs. Most have a short wheelbase and a set back axle. I called about this one a while back but it was long since sold. I guess the fella gets alot of calls because he couldn't/wouldn't tell me who bought it.

    I know where there is a really, really nice one with a bigger (110") bunk but it has an M11 and a 10 speed and a short wheelbase. It would take and engine/trans swap and a frame stretch to get it the way I want. Much easier if I can find the one in the link below.

    Are you looking for a flat top or would a condo work? Saw a couple in eastern nc. But short wheel base.

    I'd consider a condo if it had the set forward front axle and steel bumper. I need at least 230" wheel base I think.

    I thought so. That model had flat floor. There is lots of room in there and no climbing over a doghouse

    It has the M11 because of the flat floor. No room to do a swap.
    Look on the west coast.

    Well that's interesting. The for sale ad for that truck in the link I posted says it's an N14. Are you saying that's wrong and all those flat floors had M11's?
