    It's alright. I myself would like it much better with a more usable wheelbase. I just don't get what the attraction is to a setup like that? Do these guys ever back into a place that is difficult with a day cab? I guess I tend to look at it from the practical side. With that 5th wheel sitting way in back, I'd hate to see how that affects fuel mileage as well. From the rear of the sleeper forward, I like it.:biggrin_25525:

    Looks OK for a show truck but, not very practical for every day use.

    That long wheel base really makes for a smooth ride.

    Now that's a real winner there! I saw a green Pete like that up in PA once that I think was one of the rigs on those CAT scale cards. It was a SWEET rig!

    Ya, for me it would be. I've never really minded driving a fr8shaker. As long as it is sound. Come to think of it, the only truck I've ever had an issue with was that weener wagon I had when there. BTW, that looks like an old weener wagon.:biggrin_25525:

    It still is that and a fleace to own truck See the gold big blue screw logo on the side? Must have bought the accessories back when the poor sap was company. And the original truck posted. Worthless. If it don't make dollars then it don't make seance.
