    this is the other more well known one. it's called the firbird. it's not finished of near as nice though. Sad story about this truck. it's recently come up for sale and it's not ben well taken care of

    Brown truck was an awesome ride back in the day. 100% old school.:yes2557: Too bad the present owner didn't feel that way.:biggrin_2553:

    The blue truck needs a restoration real bad. It would be cool riding down the highway in that thing!:cool:

    it's not that bad but does need lots of tlc. the price is too high I think. somewhere between 20 and 30k from what I hear.

    the brown truck was really never used for trucking only for advertisment. it was as long as the trailer.

    I'd drive her. Clean her up and she'll be okay. $20-30K, huh? Tad high.

    it's a little high but you gota figure that double eagle sleeper even if you took it ff the truck and sold it would bring big bucks. I know, I've been looking for an old one for my truck

    That one coe with a conventional front end is awesome! I'd love to pull into a scale house with that and see the DOT officers faces. That's great......LOL
