    Well if you do all your own work maybe you are one of these guys who could transplant a 6NZ CAT into it and make it cool? And anything you need you just fab it up. If you're going to run an antique truck you need to be either independently wealthy or a jack of all trades with access to whatever tools you need.

    well after over 18 years in it, I really don't mind moving into something bigger. the air cond went out in it over 4 years ago. no air since. heat is great. everyone tells me they would not know me if I were not in that truck. being that I made over a million dollars in it, I have no regrets, besides I drove the truck for the first 10 years without a single breakdown or repair other than the normal wear & tear stuff. the only trucks I can find worth anything would be on the E-log sys.

    I may just decide to work mon wed & fri only, if I go on the E-logs. may wait till spring before actually buying too. going to have another look inside & out at the shop selling the 01 freighliner with the detroit when I drop my truck off. will get some pic's to post.

    4 years with no ac down south. I'll quit whining now about not having ac for the last 2 months.

    Not gonna says it's fun or easy but getting home often has to help alleviate no a/c.
