    The green of that pete in your avatar, add some black stripes, paint the frame either black or green, that'll be nice.

    I haven't seen a Cruiseliner in years. A guy at the company I was leased to in Green Bay had a Cruiseliner, it was brown ( don't paint it brown) and the guy weighed like 400 pounds. You could always tell it was him because the cab leaned on the drivers side. I like the purple. They were good trucks. Hope it has air ride, even if it is that crappy NeWay.

    Its air ride and it's the neway but I'm still glad to have found it. It didn't ride too bad on the way home. I actually got the truck out of Wisconsin

    These were really popular in the Midwest. Where in Wisconsin? Did you see a name anywhere? Don't get me wrong, the NeWay was better than the old Camelback. I drove several trucks with NeWay, and they tended to "pogo-stick" down the highway when loaded. I think that 350 Mack engine was the best ever. 4:17's, I think was a 68 mph truck. The Macks I drove were all 68 mph trucks, although, with big rubber, maybe a bit more. Have fun.
