I'm serious. I think a waterbed in a cabover could work. If pigpen's cruiseliner in "convoy" had one I don't see why I couldn't have one in a k-100.

Thumbs up 359 Pete- TOTAL OVERHAUL:
I'd get me a 359, replace the leaf springs, get me a new tranny 13-sp RR and engine (prefer a high hp Detroit) then I'd spiff her up some like all the young fellows do- shade, lights, texas bumper, them great big huge straigh pipes, chrome wheels and a a train horn that would make that little momma in her fancy supurban dirty her paintys! I'd paint her Red and Silver like the UGA dawgs and I'd go to town. .........custom pete or century freightshaker....you be the judge!!!!!!!!


greetings- been not posting here for a while after I got blasted months ago by people who don't like my thoughts

You know how those movie folks are. Burky is right, you'd probably have to drain it everytime you wanted to tilt the cab.

CLC, nice truck, but how about a 6x4 instead of the 7x3?

what I would like to see built is the lightest truck ever. You know, carbon fiber body and hood, titanium wheels, aluminum engine, everything as light as possible. I wonder how lite you can make a tractor and still have the same power as a standard tractor? Imagine a tractor/trailer combo at about 20 lbs. total. WOW!!!
