    Sorry if this post has already been read by some of you. I posted in the classified section and upon advice reposted here to hopefully get more attention from the owner/op's.
    Please read if the title of this thread appears to be of some interest to you as someone trying to sell a decent truck or if you know of someone that is trying to sell one.
    I am leaving out tonight for Maryland and I will respond at the end of the week when I get back home if anyone has posted or PM'ed me.

    Thanks a lot,

    Woody

    SOrry Bronc but I am looking for something in the 2003 range, preferably a Frieghtliner Century or Columbian with an auto-shift. 10 speed or super 10 would be okay if I can't find first choice.
    I thought I had a good lead and it would have been had it been what I wanted. Turns out it was a flat top and I want a condo. Another friend of mine bought it for $18,000.00 with 425,000 miles on it.

    Go to the truck paper. Ther must be at least a 1000 in there?? Why look for 1 in a forum??

    What are ya going to do with the truck? It ought to be speced for the application you have in mind. Why does it have to be a condo? Why not a mid roof? I know lotsa ?? but ther are no perfect answeres if you arn't specific your answeres won't be either....

    I want a condo because I want some space to move around and occassionally have someone on the road with me for company. Work station is a must. I prefer a detriot 60 series with something close to 500 hp and an auto shift. Standard shift with a 10 or super 10 would be second choice. 20 grand is where I start the bidding and mileage around 500 grand seems reasonable for my price range. No fleet trucks as they have had too many drivers and unknown abuse. Those are the basics.
