Probably. Might even go to a 6v92. I don't think I would work this truck, more for show, maybe make a motorhome out of it.
My first truck was a single axle Astro with the 6V, I don't recall if it was a 71 or 92, 1978 model year, Aero Mayflower Van Lines.
Maybe the Cummins is a better choice, plus no electronics if I go a little older.
I've driven all those too, the 12v71 was in a Euclid end dump. I remember being told to slam my finger in the door first thing in the morning...

None of us know the future, it's very risky right now IMHO, and I wouldn't advise anyone to go deeper in debt now. Everything I own is paid for....
Actually, I got an email from Ritchie to list it at auction. I'm tempted! Similar trucks are listed at $30k or more, it all depends on a lot of...
I got it used, off lease, and I did get the maintenance history. While I want a nicer truck, my brain, and every bit of advice I've gotten, says...
Well, got the truck back today, $8766, and didn't even make it through the day before the engine light came on!...
1; Depends on your area. I deliver from 1 to 5, I know some that deliver 10-11. I am fairly rural, so each station is farther away. More urban...

After sleeping on it, and hearing from you guys, I guess I'll keep the Volvo. I REALLY don't want to have payments again. I don't mind sitting...
My truck isn't old, it's high mileage. I won't buy a new truck, used, about the same age, just lower mileage. I have a pretty decent bank account...
