    Found this one, don't know much about it other than it's got a cat with a fresh rebuild, fresh tranny rebuild, jake and 10 aluminum 24's.

    It needs some polishing, new front fenders and 10 new tires. I would also pull the sleeper off of it.

    Waddya think?

    Just got some more info:

    It's a '93 with a 3406C Cat with a single oversized turbo putting out 550 HP, complete out of frame with 500 miles on it. A reman. tranny with the same miles on it. The guy has $20K in the motor and tranny alone.

    800,000 miles on the rest of the truck. All the brakes and hardware is new including slack adjusters and chambers.

    I would also paint the frame black and the body Acura Milano Red to match the rest of our trucks, or Viper Red to match our other Pete.

    Back on track now.... How many miles are on the truck? I know you said its had a recent rebuild but the other components have the original miles on them. The truck looks good from the outside but only a through inspection by a good shop could justify the purchase. How much are they asking??
