    Thank you everyone. It is a 1986 Ford LTL 9000. Has a 3406B cat, 15 speed and 3.73 rockwells. I had found it for sale out in the Pacific Northwest in the fall of 2023. I really needed another truck like I needed a hole in the head, it drew me in though, plus the specs were right up my ally. I finally called the guy a few weeks later and sent a deposit. Flew out dec 2023 and drove it back to NC. A friend of mine tagged along. We spent a day getting it ready and made it back to NC with no issues. I did all the normal things an old truck needs, put it on the road June 2024. Inframed it with a friend that helped me big time this may, and knock on wood besides the HVAC system being pretty horrible and having no headliner, it’s been a blast to run. Almost every truck I’ve owned I’ve ran with no headliner for a while, so I guess it fits in.

    I liked the aeromaxes that my company had. They weren’t Cadillacs by far, but I like how solid and sturdy they felt.

    Probably an FRP type product. Usually pretty durable stuff. Use it in restaurants and health care facilities.
    They make it look like all sorts of things now.

    I would’ve guessed FRP too but I seem to remember that stuff being 4x8…

    Several years ago, that was the only size. Seems now days it comes in a variety of sizes.
    There are vinyl products that are replacing FRP, with lengths of 20 feet.

    Sort of the same with porcelain ceramics replacing quartz flooring and wall panels.

    Lol yea that begins to be a problem with these loads.. luckily i always keep a notebook filled with hidey holes and plan my trip around that..Which i usually park at those spots away from the doorslammers normally..
    I will say trying to angle back is basically a recipe for disaster with 13ft of overhang that i cant see. I dont even attempt it :D
