Man thats a sharp old large car. A little steep for my pockets but you have to pay for those big bunks. Post up some inside shots when you get a chance. I'd like to know if the inside is as clean as the outside.

What are you going to do with the truck?

You do know the weight of the truck severely limits what you can do?

I dunno but I've seen a ton of large cars with double eagles pulling step decks lately.

What am I going to do with it? Beg a lot of people to help me keep the wheels rolling I guess.

I don't know the in's and out's of what it can do yet. I am still a rooking in the big picture. Very eager to learn though!

I am a 3rd gen driver and now I just want to do it...I mean really do it. It would be cool to get to the point you know the roads better than your own family members names.

Here is your pics boss.














The MOST important feature!!!!
















And my fav component!




It really is sharp for an old truck.

I was going to buy a $20k truck but Heather would not be as comfortable as she will be in this.

This hunt for this machine started when she mentioned her little problem. She has to go "pee pee" all the time. This also has hard insulated doors that separate the sleeper which will help with the radio and squelch noise and cold air with the window down.

In the shot below you can see the tracvision satellite that will also keep her passified.



If you ever see us give us a shout and come have some coffee and watch the weather. Maybe I will have the pole put in by then...


How much do you think it will effect me from pulling normal van loads of junk?

That is one sweet lookin' ride!!!!

Super nice truck!!!!!! You are going to be limited to which companies will even lease you own becasue of weight issues (what is the weight?)....... I'd be looking for my own gig as a back up plan you might need it. Good luck.

I don't think you got hurt buying this one. It is very clean inside and out and the low miles on the running gear.

I'm not sure of your limitations with it without knowing what it weighs. I see alot of em pulling surplus military vehicles (tanks, humvees etc etc) and pulling railroad parts. Mostly locomotive long hoods and other body parts. Have seen a load of railroad ties on a few. A few oversize loads. I have seen them running hazmat in vans. One was a pup with all kinds of placards.. I didn't even want to know what he had in there.

No more bottles! lol

It is a very nice looking truck. You'll just have to make sure to ask about turning room at the various shippers and receivers. Some places are tight even for the standard trucks with condo cabs.

Wrecked it yet?

Seriously, do us all a favor and take a short video clip of of a right turn on a city street in that thing! I'm dying to know how practical that big sleeper is.
