    Only short hood A models seem to be offered at startup prices. Unless they are #### near basket cases.

    id go right along with along with find what you want and don't settle....that being said I can't find what I want at all so you all keep your eyes open:

    daycab W9L, 290/300" two piece flat glass windshield, 20k front 40/46 rears a 3.55/3.70 tall rubber (or short I have spare wheels) 18 speed, cat or Detroit 500+, 24' flatbed (aluminum preferred) with two 5' toolboxes on one side, a 8' dunnage rack + spot to put a tarp on the other side....yeah. Not seeing that anywhere. Ever. Might have to build one.

    You'd love the Pete 359 on our local fleet. It has a 36" flat top. It's a Cummins Big Cam as I recall.
