I'm looking for a frieghtliner classic. 13 speed manual. 15k is about my max. It seems like all the great ones can't be bought. And the good ones can't either. I have no issues pay fair market. But I've seen doseys in the last couple months. I won't be buying till the middle of next month
I will be running in pa up to new Hampshire. Heavy mountain driving. I think the rear ends should be specked at 3:55. This is not a deal breaker thou.
If you have one and might be interested in the process of trying to sell it. Let me know.
Frieghtliner classic wanted.

Good Luck finding anything but junk for $15k. I saw one recently at auction sell for less. It was a 04 that didn’t run. I suggest going up to $40-$45k if possible. You can find a real nice one. Still cheap. 355’s 24.5 lo pro is common. With a 12.7 in the hills, 370’s would be good also. Or 355’s with 22.5 lo pro’s. for similar results.

Facebook marketplace. Search all over. You won’t get much for 15. Would have to save something from going to junkyard…..ask me how I know lol.
Sons Hero, Keepforgettingmypassword and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
Find one with a running engine, rears you like and a 10 speed
should be way cheaper, then swap in the 13 speed.
You arent finding a 13 speed thats cheap and decent because if it has a 13, someone knew what they were doing, so it isnt junk.
15k is scrap metal weight junk with very rare exceptionsSons Hero, Keepforgettingmypassword and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
I hate FB marketplace.
Always get people asking stuff like this.
Or saying they’ll pay 7 or 9k.
I’ve got in it what i’m asking, no more.
Then they want to do a check.
Only check i’ll take is a certified one.
Some don’t like that .Sons Hero, Magoo1968, Keepforgettingmypassword and 2 others Thank this. -
I’ll keep an eye out for you. There’s one I pass once in a blue. If I see the owner, I’ll see if he’s selling it. Will let you know.Keepforgettingmypassword and Rideandrepair Thank this.

Schedule an inspection, oil sample and either bank check or cash. It can be that simple. People like to be complicated for some reason.Keepforgettingmypassword and Rideandrepair Thank this.

Thank you for your responses. I'm no longer looking. I ran into some lung issues. Looks like I'm home for the foreseeable future.
