    You all may find this hard to believe but I have seen a few Lonestars with the Swift logo's on them. Probably out of Phoenix.

    I know in FL, Ring Power and Maudlin International have one-two each.

    TB John,

    I would not doubt it but would like to see what a stripped down lonestar looks like.

    Long nose hood has nothing to do with ease of getting around. It's more about wheelbase. Consequently, most long nose trucks have a long wheelbase.

    I have a t800 with a 244" wheelbase, and it gets around worse than a w900 with a 233" wheelbase I borrowed one day.

    As with most Internationals...It just looks cheap and stylisticly challenged.
    I've seen a bunch of them on the road and have yet to see one that really looks good!
    They just look to me like they were pieced together out of cheesey plastic aftermarket chrome accessories from Barjan.
    The stamped metal back of the cab is tacky as well and adds to the cheesey look of the thing!

    The price tag is ridiculous for what you're getting.

    They're flashy...but nothing special.
     
    The Challenger, Lil'Devil and Fratsit Thank this.

    Exactly what I thought, an overpriced plastic piece of crap
