Well this would be the happy medium. Plus can be done under a cheaper class b license
Yeah that's the goal. It's gonna be a little while before I get going. Work is slow right now and I'm trying to save up as much cash as I can...
This is the field I'm looking to do and have already made steps. First you need to spec a truck out that maximizes the limited length we can run....
In my experience, the dt has always been a gutless turd of unreliable worth. My guess the truck is a 250 horse dt with a pathetic amount of...
They are ugly in my opinion. Used to drive one and they are horribly outdated for me to be in one 24/7 lol. As far as capacity and what not it all...
Im choosing straight truck to stay with in class B. Its a long story.
it varies depending on whats available. Its hotshot style work so it could be oilfield stuff and or equipment and then it could cross all the way...
Lol thanks. I guess the whole time I really wasn't thinking about the European market for that conversion. Just here in the us. But yeah thanks...

Easily. You can put drop axles on anything with frame space
Actually it will be a 4 axle but one single power axle. (1 steer, 1 drive, 2 drop axles). I'm not going to be hauling that much but the extra...
I actually originally wanted to build a cab over. Was looking at the peterbilt 220 but I had to opt out since there's nothing with an extended cab...
Thanks for the insight on all that. I've pretty much established that I'm going to have to go with the 40' max and stay legal obviously. I'll try...
What's the fine on something like that if you don't mind me asking. Also how much were you over?
Honestly that's not surprising at all
As nice it would be, I'll manage with what I have. Gotta watch the budget anyways. Maybe if I see the need for it in the future then I can make it...
Not a bad idea either. 29' bed should do me alright. I'll just have to talk to the body builder once I get ready to place the order. Gonna be a...
