    Seems pretty old. I guess your looking for a cabover?

    This week I was on Loop 410 in San Antonio near I-35. I looked to my right, and there are about 20+ Walmart Cabovers sitting in a lot. I assume they are for sale. Don't know anything about them, though.

    What motor,trans,rears? Trucks from that time are geared for 55mph for the most part. Also hope you like dressing laying down. Always kept a peanut can to put change in.

    It's a Cummings motor 13 spd trans, can't remember the gearing, it geared for 65mph, Im mechanically inclined lol. Figure run it for a year or two then get the truck I want, can't be to picky for my first truck.

    I always liked the cabovers. Perhaps nostalgia? How do they do fuel-wise compared to similarly equipped conventional? How about turning radius?

    This thing will get 4.5 to 5 mpg. If I get it turned up I can get maby 5.5. Not shure on turning. Bet it's better than the t660 I drive now
