    arrow truck sales are asking 40k for this kw, and my local kw dealer is asking 50k for the 2006 386 w/10 spd. 435 hp- i think c15 cat. I'm in cross roads.

    63 inch bunk vs 70. and 70 inch bunk has higher millage, not a bad price. I'm planning to go to the KW shop and ask them which trucks they see more in their shops, 386's, 387's, t2k's.

    http://www.truckpaper.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=2519566 this has under 400k, i dont know about there maintenance but it is a ex-fleet truck

    you also havent said anything about my recommendation of these trucks, you said you didn't want a hood or a fl. these are good trucks and you can find them like this for under 45k speced out decent. just a suggestion.

    Dude, I live these machines. I live in NJ - where the grass is not green. lol. I can not find anything priced ok or not abused. I was able to find a red 386 w 10 speed: http://www.libertykenworth.com/search_detail.cfm?UnitID=7646 - already seen it. I like how the whole engine is exposed when the hood is open. Now is the hard part, getting approved for the decent % financing w/10%-20% down. and still being able to make a living.

    The http://www.libertykenworth.com/search_detail.cfm?UnitID=7646 - dealer said that the lowest he can go would be 47K - which is great - I'll try to negotiate it lower. I really want to just buy it and get out. My current job drives me up the wall and then plus some. But, I need to wait this winter out. I haven't driven in about 4 years. but, that's easy to catch up on. one week otr and good to go.
