COE plan/questions/advice

Euro cabovers are a whole different animal. Way more comfortable and roomy.

 

I saw this thing last winter, looks like they keep it in running condition and are out making money with it.

 

There’s a guy out of Quebec runs N.E. US with one of those with a DD15 that will put up about 1500hp. He’s pretty tight with the guys at Diesel Spec. When I saw the truck last he was running 2 ecu’s on it, one with the 515hp file in it, and the other one, with a switch on the dash. Might be ugly but will it ever go.

 

Quite a few Canadian carriers(especially ones out of Quebec and Ontario) run Argosys in cross border operations.

 

MAN,Volvo,Scania,DAF,even Mercedes-Benz will sell you crossovers till the cows come home. And lately even Hyundai has been selling cabovers across the pond!

 

Cab over Freightliners aren’t exactly the prettiest thing you’ll ever see either. I had two of them and one I drove for over 8yrs. An ‘81 Powerliner and an ‘85 with the standard grille opening. I had the full set of 28V’s, 1 white and 1 yellow. The ‘85 would tow a b-train load of boards right along. When the boys from White City got their cows back aboard at the feedlot in Thunder Bay I could go all the way to Toronto with them.

 

I always like the looks of the Powerliner ..I never minded looking a Freightliner untill you opened the right side door and saw that 20.00 kitchen chair for a passager seat.. Still better looking than a ASTRO of the IH 4070

 

My first truck. 1974 White Road Commander 290 Cummins with compression release, 10 speed.

 

I 'll give you 5k and fill the tanks on that ASTRO and trade you for that T600 you just got

 

Argosy production ceased completely a year ago. They are no longer listed on the Australian website. The left hand drive gliders were discontinued 2 years ago.
