    I love my glider and the simplicity of it,, but... I wanted 1 more hood to finish up in. I almost bought a brand new black Mack Rawhide in 2016, but I resisted... I'm just in the process of a bunch of maintenance and while its only a couple grand, I was thinking about a newer more comfortable truck... and this pops up....
    2016 Mack Rawhide, 70" Midroof | Heavy Trucks | Dartmouth | Kijiji

    I like the Mack and love the rawhide interior. Price seems ok for 400k miles... I'm stopping tomorrow to have a look at it.... oh god.....

    I will disagree some what you ...yes there's still deals to be had
    But I'am gonna disagree with staying away from FB .. other than the truck paper.. just where are you gona look for Peterbilt 359's ?? It's not like those are trucks that people go to a dealer looking to trade 1 in on a new truck ..

    No doubt he got a better offer. I sold mine last week, and as soon as he gave me a deposit to hold it I realized I could have easily gotten more, but a deal is a deal.

    I would like to think this guy wouldn't do that.. he's not a truck driver.. he is a farmer.. we have some mutual friends that I have known for 20 years and their word is golden that give him high references... he claimed that his driver's were #####ing that they didn't want him to sell it.. to be honest.. he had it priced under the market value by about 5 to 7 k...
    Like you said a deal is a deal .. I did that myself 8 mths ago on my trailer.. but I'am the 1 that put the price tag on it and the guy bob tailed 800 miles in a snow storm to get it

    I said FB groups, not FB altoghether.

    The trucking groups are like a circle jerk of guys drooling over hood trucks or talking about how any Cascadia isn't worth $10K. It's a gigantic waste of time and energy.

    There is Craigslist, if you can weed the scams out I've seen some gems out there.

    Yeah I can't disagree with you about the groups on FB .. there's alot of special Stupid on there it sucks too because I just go on there looking for parts or sellers ..I can't stand the read most of the comments from the D bags that think their God's gift to trucks
