    You can never be to picky when you are spending that kind of money. There are thousands of trucks for sale in your price range. Keep being picky.

    the nice thing about those miter cut stacks is that you can cut them any length you want without changing the look.

    pretty good idea about why he might be wanting to downsize is that he's in the oilfield business in texas. Kind of in a rough patch right now.

    very well could be the reason.....im kinda leanin towards the W900 Flattop at this point.....went and talked
    to the hopper outfit tuesday and filled out an application everything is a go but i talked to an old timer
    and he had all the #'s broken down and i just dont think that company is for me.....although i did talk to
    a flatbeddin outfit today that does seem like its for me i just have to have truck and trailer though....
    the loads they run go buy my house 5 days a week and off weekends average 2400-3000 miles a week
    paid loaded and empty miles hauling lumber out of arkansas to dallas and fort worth....

    Anyway got sidetracked im leaning towards the W9 Flatty i talked to the sales guy he came down to
    33 from a asking of $35,900.00 i think i can get him lower maybe down to 30k for it...he emailed me
    more detailed pics of it and it seems to be a nice truck just gota go drive it and check it out, meant to do it
    tuesday but it was sleeting and they claimed dallas was guna be worse than where i was so i turned around,
    didnt want to drive the truck in dallas on wet slick roads bobtailing and not being used to the truck so ima go
    over maybe friday if they are open....if not have to do it sometime next week.....

    Flatbedding outfit told me he prefered i have a 48' alluminum combo spread axle trailer.....anybody know where
    any are forsale close to texarkana or just the NE Texas area for a descent price?
