It's that time again........

Pretty truck. You will be happier driving that over a new cascadia. But you will need tools and scrub soap to wash that grease and coolant off your arms. She will need more attention than any anything new. As long as you’re up to the task in treating an ole lady like a gentleman should, you should be ok. Now go chase some good paying freight that requires extra work. Stay away from easy.

 

These couple pics, and they're not much. All the rust around the pedals, turbo boot doesn't look quite right, alternator belts not quite right, and missing 1 fan belt.

What is the new frame paint hiding? Love that fancy dash and floor, usually a sign of somebody who favors looks over functionality. Same guy who has lots of chrome with bald tires

CAC looks original. Sure it's good 25 years old?

You post more pics I'll find more problems

 

Big gap in that fan clutch

 

Bit of rust jacking going on there around the air bags. Probably the same around the fifth wheel slide, crossmembers, etc. How many air bags and pass throughs will it need?

 

New Michelin steers on her?

that truck probably would of been 100+ with a yellow motor

looks like an ag400 conversion too with new upper bushings

 

Bags ain't ####, problem is that 8 bag garbage suspension. Better off whacking it off and sticking a flex air cutoff on. It's a used truck, you're going to have stupid little #### like air bags and fan clutches that need doing. Unfortunately today it's either buy something like that for 65k to 90k, buy an emissions nightmare with 500k miles for 120k to 150k, or new new for 250k+.

 

Paccar financial has been selling t680 300k for 65k
