If you could build a custom truck...

for me it would have to be an international 4800. i love those trucks.

 

Look like a Kenworth W900, steer like a Volvo, haul like a race car and get Yugo mileage!

 

K100 aerodyne (the tall one, not a flat roof), 3406E or N14+,13sp, dual straights and some lights and chrome, but not too much.

On the inside, have to do something, I never much liked the old KW interiors (at least in the COEs).

Would even consider a 362, similar specs (of course, it would be a flattop).
And not crazy long (like the show COE's), what's the point of having a COE if it's got a 260" wheelbase? Sure it looks cool and has better weight distribution, but it ain't as useful as a short one.

A Volvo VT 880

 

that is a god choice buddy.

 

I'd just like to see the size of the straps that are gonna hold that water bed in place when you tilt the cab up for maintenance. Curious what you are gonna attach them to. Hope the lightweight aluminum structure of the cab you choose is in really good shape. If not, you are gonna have a waterbed crashing out through your windshield when you tilt it.
