    I trying to get @DeereRunner97 truck back to my home in az so i can put it to work.

    Ohio to arizona.

    Was originally going to rent a rig here in az and take my rgn out to oh. and pull it home, but none of these rental companies that ive got in contact with, will rent to a small guy.. U have to be a fleet and have a 5 figure security deposit on file. What a joke.

    Just curious if u any of u guys running a rgn or possibly a low pro step (I think the flattop is short enough to be legal) would be willing to haul a 389 pete down to arizona.. Tell me what rate u looking for and we could work something out. ill give u better than any broker will right now and pay you on delivery... Or if anybody have a truck i could rent out for a couple weeks so i could haul it back home... Or if you in the area and would be willing to bobtail it down here - give me a rate for that too. Any ideas welcome.. Just need some help on this one

    Flat top will fit on a regular step no issues. Have to take stack tips off.

    Yeah blue bird threw the head back before Christmas, on my last load of the year. Not sure if it just the gasket or the head itself. Limped it home 1200 miles and 16 gallons of coolant later...so much pressure in the cooling system it was blowing out of the ends of the hoses the whole trip.. Put a block tester on it when I got home and it test positive right away for combustion gas in the cooling system
