    Nothing wrong with an fld as long as tires, shocks, and those types of thing are in good order. A kwT700 was the worst riding truck I've ever drove.

    They look like they’d be terrible to sleep in. The newer insulated trucks spoiled me.

    Get a girlfriend and take her on the road with you. I promise after a couple weeks you'll be begging for alone time and will never be bored again.

    A Road Commander COE.

    The whole thing is a solid brick end to end. It has put me into the hospital er twice. What happens is some bridges have a angle approach to them crossing the joints. The first steer whips me this way and the other steer whips me ever harder the other way on the lower back.

    It's like someone lighting a fire that wont stop. I usually had to go find me a hospital truck and all to fix whatever is broken and make pain stop.
     
    Oldironfan Thanks this.
